Message
Critical fabric size () exceeds supported configuration
().
Message Type
FFDC | LOG
Severity
CRITICAL
Probable Cause
Indicates that this switch is a value-line switch and has exceeded the configured fabric size: that is, a
specified limit to the number of RBridges. This limit is defined by your specific value-line license key. The
fabric size has exceeded this specified limit and the grace period counter has started.
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.
FABR-1029
Message
Port negotiated (mode =
flow control mode>).
Message Type
LOG
Severity
INFO
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.
• R_RDY mode: Receiver-ready flow control mode. This is the Fibre Channel standard protocol, that
uses R_RDY primitive for flow control.
• DUAL_CR mode: Dual-credit flow control mode. In both of the previous modes, the buffer credits are
fixed, based on the port configuration information. In this mode, the buffer credits are negotiated as
part of exchange link parameter (ELP) exchange. This mode also uses R_RDY primitive for flow
control.
Recommended
Action
No action is required.
