APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Brocade port state of no_sync is displayed with operational
  status of "ok".
  Customer considers this an error condition.  Currently cannot
  differentiate ports in no_sync state from other operational
  ports.
  

Local fix

• No local fix available.
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected: IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center users with
  Brocade switches.
  
  Problem Description:
  Brocade switch states of no_sync and no_light could not be
  distinguished in IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center.  Current
  interfaces did not provide the necessary information to
  distinguish.  Both states displayed with an operational status
  of OK.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changes were made in IBM TotalStorage Productivity version 3.3
  to use additional values available from the Brocade SMI Agent.
  This also requires the use of a newer (greater than
  110.5.0b) Brocade SMI Agent, which is being tested with IBM
  TotalStorage Productivity Center.
  
  The testing is being conducted with the August monthly interim
  fix for version 3.3.

  a newer version has completed testing.
