Message
Probable Cause
Indicates that an internal link service (ILS) information unit of invalid size has been received. The neighbor
switch has sent an invalid sized payload.
Recommended Action
Investigate the neighbor switch for problems. Run the errShow command on the neighbor switch to view
the error log for additional messages.
Check for a faulty cable or deteriorated SFP. Replace the cable or SFP if necessary.
Run the portLogDumpPort command on both the receiving and transmitting ports.
Run the fabStateShow command on both the receiving and transmitting switches.
If the message persists, run supportFtp (as needed) to set up automatic FTP transfers; then run the
supportSave command and contact your switch service provider.
Severity
WARNING
FABR-1004
Message
Probable Cause
Indicates that the information unit response was invalid for the specified command sent. The fabric received
an unknown response. This message is rare and usually indicates a problem with the Fabric OS kernel.
Recommended Action
If this message is due to a one-time event because of the incoming data, the system will discard the frame.
If it is due to problems with the kernel, the system will recover by performing a failover.
If the message persists, run supportFtp (as needed) to set up automatic FTP transfers; then run the
supportSave command and contact your switch service provider.
