FABR-1019
Message <timestamp>, [FABR-1019], <sequence-number>, FFDC, CRITICAL, <switch-name>,
Critical fabric size (<current rBridges>) exceeds supported configuration
(<supported rBridges>).
Probable Cause Indicates that this switch is a value-line switch and has exceeded the configured fabric size: that is,
a specified limit to the number of rBridges. This limit is defined by your specific value-line license
key. The fabric size has exceeded this specified limit and the grace period counter has started.
Recommended
Action
Bring the fabric size within the licensed limits. Either a full fabric license must be added or the size
of the fabric must be changed to within the licensed limit. Contact your switch provider to obtain a
full fabric license.
Severity CRITICAL
FABR-1029
Message <timestamp>, [FABR-1029], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <switch-name>, Port <port
number> negotiated <flow control mode description> (mode = <received flow control
mode>).
Probable Cause Indicates that a different flow control mode, as described in the message, is negotiated with the
port at the other end of the link. The flow control is a mechanism of throttling the transmitter port
to avoid buffer overrun at the receiving port.
There are three types of flow control modes:
VC_RDY mode: Virtual-channel flow control mode. This is a proprietary protocol.
R_RDY mode: Receiver-ready flow control mode. This is the Fibre Channel standard protocol,
that uses R_RDY primitive for flow control.
DUAL_CR mode: Dual-credit flow control mode. In both of the previous modes, the buffer
credits are fixed, based on the port configuration information. In this mode, the buffer credits
are negotiated as part of exchange link parameter (ELP) exchange. This mode also uses the
R_RDY primitive for flow control.
Recommended
Action
No action is required.
Severity INFO
FABR-1030
Message <timestamp>, [FABR-1030], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <switch-name>, fabric:
rBridge <new rBridge ID> (was <old rBridge ID>).
Probable Cause Indicates that the rBridge ID has changed.
