Message
Initializing fabric size limit timer .
Message Type
LOG
Severity
INFO
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 (for example, a specified limit on 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.

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 the
R_RDY primitive for flow control.
Recommended
Action
No action is required.
