Table 23: Invalid Attachment Messages and Explanations
Message Explanation
01 Unknown. Invalid attachment reason cannot be determined.
02 ISL connection not
allowed on this port.
Port is configured as an F_Port, but connected to switch
or director.
03 ELP rejected by the
attached switch.
This director or switch transmitted an exchange link pro-
tocol (ELP) frame that was rejected by the switch at the
other end of the ISL (Invalid Attachment only).
04 Incompatible switch
at the other end of the
ISL.
Interop mode for this switch is set to Open Fabric mode
and the switch at the other end of the ISL is a switch con-
figured for Homogeneous Fabric mode.
05 External loopback
adapter connected to
the port.
A loopback plug is connected to the port and there is no
diagnostic test running.
06 N_Port connection
not allowed on this
port.
The port type configuration does not match the actual
port use. Port is configured as an E_Port, but attaches to
a node device.
07 Non-homoge-
neous switch at other
end of the ISL.
The cable is connected to a non-homogeneous switch
and interop mode is set to homogeneous fabric mode.
08 ISL connection not
allowed on this port.
This port type configuration does not match the actual
port use (the port is configured as an F_Port, but attaches
to a switch or director).
10 Port binding viola-
tion–unauthorized
WWN.
The WWN entered to configure port binding is not valid
or a nickname was used that is not configured through
the Element Manager for the attached device.
11 Unresponsive node
connected to port.
Possible causes are:
■ Hardware problem on switch or on a connected
node where ELP frames are not delivered, the
response is not received, or a fabric login (FLOGI)
cannot be received. There may be problems in
switch SBAR.
■ Faulty or dirty cable connection.
■ Faulty host bus adapters that do not send out FLOGI
within reasonable time frame.
