FABR-1023
Message
Probable Cause
Indicates that the fabric size is within specified limits. Either a full fabric license was added or the size of
the fabric was changed to within the licensed limit.
Recommended Action
No action is required.
Severity
INFO
FABR-1024
Message
Probable Cause
Indicates that the fabric size has exceeded the limit set by your value-line switches. Value-line switches have
a limited fabric size: a specified limit to the number of domains. This value is defined by your specific
value-line license key. The fabric size has exceeded this specified limit. The grace-period timer has been
initialized. If the grace period is complete and the size of the fabric is still outside the specified limit, Web
Tools is disabled.
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
INFO
FABR-1029
Message
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.
