1450 Fewer Fibre Channel I/O ports operational.

Explanation

One or more Fibre Channel I/O ports that were previously active are now inactive. This situation continued for 1 minute.

A Fibre Channel I/O port might be established on either a Fibre Channel platform port or an Ethernet platform port that uses Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). This error is expected if the associated Fibre Channel or Ethernet port is not operational.

Data:

Three numeric values are listed:
  • The ID of the first unexpected inactive port. This ID is a decimal number.
  • The ports that are expected to be active, which is a hexadecimal number. Each bit position represents a port, with the least significant bit representing port 1. The bit is 1 if the port is expected to be active.
  • The ports that are actually active, which is a hexadecimal number. Each bit position represents a port, with the least significant bit representing port 1. The bit is 1 if the port is active.

User response

  1. If possible, use the management GUI to run the suggested actions for the associated service error code.
  2. Follow the procedure for mapping I/O ports to platform ports to determine which platform port is providing this I/O port.
  3. Check for any 704 (Fibre channel platform port not operational) or 724 (Ethernet platform port not operational) node errors reported for the platform port.
  4. Possibilities:
    • If the port was intentionally disconnected, use the management GUI suggested action for the service error code and acknowledge the intended change.
    • Resolve the 704 or 724 error.
    • If this connection is an FCoE connection, use the information that the view gives about the Fibre Channel forwarder (FCF) to troubleshoot the connection between the port and the FCF.
