“CIM_ERR_FAILED” Message

If you are in a McDATA environment where the EFC Manager Service Processor is managing

multiple switches, it is possible that the management server will send SWAPI requests faster than

the EFC Manager Service Processor can handle them. The management server may detect this as a

failed connection and take corrective action. When this happens, you are shown a

“CIM_ERR_FAILED” message whenever the management server tried to access the McDATA

switches and directors.
The management server then attempts to reconnect to the EFCM by creating a new SWAPI

connection. EFCM versions 8.x and later have five SWAPI connections available. EFCM versions

7.1.3 and later but before version 8.x have three SWAPI connections available. If the

management server reconnects successfully, a reconnect event is generated and no further action is

necessary.
If the management server cannot reconnect to the EFCM, another event is generated with a severity

of major. If this happens, any operation the management server is performing (Discovery Data

Collection/Get Details) involving switches on that EFCM fails.
To prevent the “CIM_ERR_FAILED” messages, increase the delay between the management server’s

SWAPI calls to EFCM, as described in the following steps:
