Well Known Address x'FF FF FB' x'FF FF FC' x'FF FF FD' x'FF FF FE' x'FF FF FF' Description Time Service (FC-GS-5) Directory Service (FC-GS-5) Fabric Controller F_Port Controller Broadcast Address/Server Fibre channel port remains in initializing state A fibre channel F type port does not come online and is stuck in an initializing state. The show interface fc command displays the following message. fc slot/port is down (Initializing) A Fibre Channel port goes into the initialization state after a successful completion of link-level initialization. For F type ports, the next step is to complete the FLOGI (fabric login) process. The port remains in the initialization state until the FLOGI process completes. Possible Cause The port is up because the link partner has put itself into a bypass mode. Solution Use the show hardware internal fc-mac port statistics command to check whether the Class-3 input counter is increasing after the successful completion of link initialization.

Troubleshooting SAN Switching Issues

FC Services

Fibre channel port remains in initializing state

A fibre channel F type port does not come online and is stuck in an initializing state.

The

show interface fc

command displays the following message.

fc slot/port is down (Initializing)

A Fibre Channel port goes into the initialization state after a successful completion of link-level

initialization. For F type ports, the next step is to complete the FLOGI (fabric login) process. The port

remains in the initialization state until the FLOGI process completes.

Possible Cause

The port is up because the link partner has put itself into a bypass mode.

Solution

Use the

show hardware internal fc-mac

<slot-number>

port

<port-number>

statistics

command to

check whether the Class-3 input counter is increasing after the successful completion of link

initialization.

Example:

switch# show hardware internal fc-mac 2 port 1 statistics
