700 The Fibre Channel adapter that was previously present has not been detected.

Explanation

A Fibre Channel adapter that was previously present is not detected. The adapter might not be correctly installed, or it might have failed.

On Storwize® V7000, FlashSystem 7200, FlashSystem 9100, and FlashSystem 9200, the adapter is on the node canister system board.

On IBM SAN Volume Controller, Storwize V7000, FlashSystem 7200, FlashSystem 9200, and FlashSystem 9100, this node error does not, in itself, stop the node canister from becoming active in the system; however, the Fibre Channel network might be being used to communicate between the node canisters in a clustered system. It is possible that this node error indicates why the critical node error 550 A cluster cannot be formed because of a lack of cluster resources is reported on the node canister.

On Storwize V5000, Storwize V5000E, FlashSystem 5000, Storwize V5100, and FlashSystem 5100, this error can also occur if an adapter was deliberately removed.

Data:

  • Location is a number that indicates the adapter location. On Storwize V7000 and FlashSystem 9100, Location 0 indicates that the adapter that is integrated into the system board is being reported. On Storwize V7000, FlashSystem 7200, FlashSystem 9100, FlashSystem 9200, Storwize V5000, Storwize V5000E, FlashSystem 5000, Storwize V5100, FlashSystem 5100, and IBM SAN Volume Controller, the location indicates an adapter slot; see the node or node canister description for the definition of the adapter slot locations.

User response

  1. If possible, service this noncritical node error by using the management GUI and running the suggested actions for the service error code.
  2. On Storwize V7000, FlashSystem 7200, FlashSystem 9100, and FlashSystem 9200, because the adapter is on the system board, replace the node canister by using the remove and replace procedures.
    A number of possible causes exist:
    1. If you deliberately removed the adapter (possibly replacing it with a different adapter type), follow the management GUI suggested actions to mark the hardware change as intentional.
    2. On Storwize V7000 and FlashSystem 9100, because the adapter is on the system board, replace the node canister by using the remove and replace procedures. On Storwize V7000, FlashSystem 7200, FlashSystem 9100, FlashSystem 9200, Storwize V5000, Storwize V5000E, FlashSystem 5000, Storwize V5100, and FlashSystem 5100, use the remove and replace procedures to remove and open the canister and check that the adapter is fully installed. On IBM SAN Volume Controller, if the previous steps did not isolate the problem, use the remove and replace procedures to replace the adapter; if this procedure does not fix the problem, then replace the system board.
    3. On Storwize V5000, Storwize V5000E, FlashSystem 5000, Storwize V5100, and FlashSystem 5100, if the previous steps did not isolate the problem, use the remove and replace procedures to replace the adapter; if this procedure does not fix the problem, then replace the canister.
