Chapter 13 Configuring Interfaces Fibre Channel Interfaces Send documentation comments to [email protected] Table 13-4 Reason Codes for Nonoperational States Reason Code (long version) Description Applicable Modes Link failure or not connected The physical layer link is not operational. All SFP not present The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) hardware is not plugged in. Initializing The physical layer link is operational and the protocol initialization is in progress. Reconfigure fabric in progress The fabric is currently being reconfigured. Offline The Cisco NX-OS software waits for the specified R_A_TOV time before retrying initialization. Inactive The interface VSAN is deleted or is in a suspended state. To make the interface operational, assign that port to a configured and active VSAN. Hardware failure A hardware failure is detected. Error disabled Error conditions require administrative attention. Interfaces may be error-disabled for various reasons. For example: • Configuration failure. • Incompatible buffer-to-buffer credit configuration. To make the interface operational, you must first fix the error conditions causing this state; and next, administratively shut down or enable the interface. FC redirect failure A port is isolated because a Fibre Channel redirect is unable to program routes. No port activation license available A port is not active because it does not have a port license. SDM failure A port is isolated because SDM is unable to program routes. OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide 13-9
