Event Code Tables
Event Code: 508
Message: Fibre Channel port anomaly detected.
Severity: Informational.
Explanation: The CTP card detected a deviation in the normal operating mode or status of the indicated Fibre Channel port.
Action: No action required. An event code 506 is generated if this anomaly results in a hard port failure.
Event Data: Byte 0 = port number. Byte 12 = detecting port.
Byte 1 = anomaly reason code. Byte 13 = connected port.
Bytes 4 - 7 = elapsed millisecond tick count. Byte 14 = participating SBAR.
Bytes 8 and 9 = high-availability error callout #1. Bytes 16 and 17 = high-availability error callout #3.
Bytes 10 and 11 = high-availability error callout #2. Bytes 18 and 19 = high-availability error callout #4.

Event Code: 509
Message: Fibre Channel path failure.
Severity: Major.
Explanation: One or more of the backplane data paths has been removed from service, thus reducing the bandwidth
capabilities of the associated port. This does not prevent the port from frame reception or transmission, but it
does limit the potential throughput of the port.
Normally the amber Service Required LED on the port associated with the failing path is illuminated to indicate
the degraded status. The green port LED may or may not be illuminated based on the status of the link.
Action: Replace the indicated UPM with a functional UPM of the same type. Perform the data collection procedure and
return the CD and faulty card to McDATA support personnel.
A failed path may also be recovered by performing a port reset with the SAN management application, however
any newly detected errors may cause the path to re-fail.
Event Data: Byte 0 = port number.
Byte 1 = engineering reason code.
Bytes 4 - 7 = elapsed millisecond tick count.
