Explanation

The fibre channel name server sent too much information about remote ports. The zfcp device driver did not receive sufficient information to attach all available remote ports in the SAN.

User response

Verify that you are running the latest firmware level on the FCP adapter. Check your SAN setup and consider reducing the number of ports visible to the FCP adapter by using more restrictive zoning in the SAN.
