HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.X Diagnostics and System Error Messages Reference Guide (AA-RVHZB-TE, September 2005)

208 Error messages
dirty equipment, temperature fluctuations, and aging equipment. You should set your high boundaries to
five- or six-digit figures, as only large numbers of messages indicate a problem in this area.
Recommended Action
Verify that your optical components are clean and function properly. Replace deteriorating cables or SFPs.
Check for damage from heat or age.
Severity
INFO
FW-1217
Message
Probable Cause
Indicates that the number of AL_PA CRC errors has fallen below the low boundary. This indicates that
errors have been detected in the FC frame. Invalid CRC messages occur when the number of CRC errors in
Fibre Channel frames for specific source ID (S_ID) and destination ID (D_ID) pairs change. These messages
might also be caused by dirty equipment, temperature fluctuations, and aging equipment. You should set
your high boundaries to five- or six-digit figures, as only large numbers of messages indicate a problem in
this area.
Recommended Action
No action is required. Respond to this message as is appropriate to the particular policy of the end-user
installation. A low level of invalid CRC errors means that the switch is functioning normally.
Severity
INFO
FW-1218
Message
Probable Cause
Indicates that the number of CRC errors has risen above the high boundary. This indicates that errors have
been detected in the FC frame. Invalid CRC messages occur when the number of CRC errors in Fibre
Channel frames for specific source ID (S_ID) and destination ID (D_ID) pairs change. These messages
might also be caused by dirty equipment, temperature fluctuations, and aging equipment. You should set
your high boundaries to five- or six-digit figures, as only large numbers of messages indicate a problem in
this area.
Recommended Action
You should configure a five- or six-figure high boundary for this area. Only five-figure (or higher) values for
CRC errors indicate problems. When an "above" message is received, check for a faulty cable or
deteriorated SFP. Replace the cable or SFP if necessary. Try cleaning the connectors. Check for damage
from heat or deterioration from age.
