Virtual Fabrics Symptom Probable cause and recommended action EX_Port is disabled with reason "Export in non base switch". An EX_Port must be in the base switch. Use the lsCfg --create command with the -b option to create a base switch. Then use the lsCfg --config command with the -slot and -port options to move the port to the base switch. If the port is not intended to be used as an EX_Port, use the portCfgDefault command to reset the port to its default configuration. Symptom Probable cause and recommended action An EX_ or VEX_Port is disabled with reason "Conflict: XISL capability domain". Use the configure command to set the value on the Allow XISL use to OFF on all logical switches of the connecting edge fabric. Symptom Probable cause and recommended action E_Ports connecting two logical switches are disabled. If a base switch is directly connected to a non-base switch, all E_Ports to that logical switch are disabled. Symptom Probable cause and recommended action Fabric ID and base switch are conflicted. If there is a Fabric ID conflict and a base switch conflict that exists between two switches, the Fabric ID conflict is detected first. Use the lsCfg --change command with the -newfid option to change the FID. Symptom Probable cause and recommended action A base switch already exists on this system. Only one base switch is allowed on a platform. Use the lsCfg --delete command, then the lsCfg --create command with the -b option to remove the current base switch, and then create a new one. Logical switch issues CAUTION When a logical switch is created, all configuration for the logical switch is set to factory defaults. When a logical switch is deleted, all configuration for the logical switch is deleted permanently and is not recoverable. Symptom Probable cause and recommended action The indicated slot is empty. You used the lsCfg command and an empty slot was specified. Re-issue the command with the appropriate slot number. Symptom Probable cause and recommended action Validation of switch configuration changes is not supported on this platform. This platform is unknown to the logical switch subsystem.

Symptom
EX_Port is disabled with reason "Export in non base switch".
Probable cause and recommended action
An EX_Port must be in the base switch.
Use the
lsCfg --create
command with the -b option to create a base
switch. Then use the
lsCfg --config
command with the
-slot
and
-port
options to move the port to the base switch. If the port is not intended to
be used as an EX_Port, use the
portCfgDefault
command to reset the port
to its default configuration.
Symptom
An EX_ or VEX_Port is disabled with reason "Conflict: XISL capability
domain".
Probable cause and recommended action
Use the
configure
command to set the value on the
Allow XISL use
to
OFF on all logical switches of the connecting edge fabric.
Symptom
E_Ports connecting two logical switches are disabled.
Probable cause and recommended action
If a base switch is directly connected to a non-base switch, all E_Ports to
that logical switch are disabled.
Symptom
Fabric ID and base switch are conflicted.
Probable cause and recommended action
If there is a Fabric ID conflict and a base switch conflict that exists between
two switches, the Fabric ID conflict is detected first.
Use the
lsCfg --change
command with the
-newfid
option to change the
FID.
Symptom
A base switch already exists on this system.
Probable cause and recommended action
Only one base switch is allowed on a platform. Use the
lsCfg --delete
command, then the
lsCfg --create
command with the
-b
option to remove
the current base switch, and then create a new one.
