APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
After applying MQ Appliance firmware 8.0.0.4 or higher, the test hardware command reports [failure] Fibre Channel HBA : invalid. Example: [failure] Fibre Channel HBA 'fch1' WWPN : invalid. [failure] Fibre Channel HBA 'fch2' WWPN : invalid. Previous firmware versions do not show this error. As there is no support for fibre channel connections in the MQ Appliance v8 firmware, this error can be safely ignored.
Local fix
As there is no support for fibre channel connections in the MQ Appliance v8 firmware, this error can be safely ignored.
