706 Fibre Channel clustered system path failure.

Explanation

One or more Fibre Channel (FC) input/output (I/O) ports that were previously able to access all required online nodes or node canisters can no longer access them. This situation continued for 5 minutes. This error is not reported unless a node is active in a clustered system.

A Fibre Channel I/O port might be established on either an FC platform port or an Ethernet platform port that uses Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).

Data:

Three numeric values are listed:
  • The ID of the first FC I/O port that does not have connectivity. This value is a decimal number.
  • The ports that are expected to have connections. This value is a hexadecimal number, and each bit position represents a port - with the least significant bit representing port 1. The bit is 1 if the port is expected to have a connection to all online nodes or node canisters.
  • The ports that have actual connections. This value is a hexadecimal number, and each bit position represents a port, with the least significant bit representing port 1. The bit is 1 if the port has a connection to all online nodes.

User response

  1. If possible, service this noncritical node error by using the management GUI and running the prescribed actions for the service error code.
  2. Follow the procedure: Mapping I/O ports to platform ports to determine which platform port does not have connectivity.
  3. A number of other responses are possible.
    • If the port’s connectivity was intentionally reconfigured, use the management GUI prescribed action for the service error code and acknowledge the intended change. You must have at least two I/O ports with connections to all other nodes or to all other node canisters except the node canisters in the same enclosure.
    • Resolve other node errors that are related to this platform port or I/O port.
    • Check that the SAN zoning is correct.
Possible Cause: FRUs or other cause:
  • None.
