Link failures 3 11:40:02.078 PORT Received LISA frame Rx3 23 20 22000000,00000000,ffffffff,11050100 The LISA frame indicates that the loop initialization is complete. 3. Skip point-to-point initialization by using the portCfgLport Command. The switch changes to point-to-point initialization after the LISA phase of the loop initialization. This behavior sometimes causes trouble with old HBAs. Checking for a point-to-point initialization failure 1. Enter the switchShow command to confirm that the port is active and has a module that is synchronized. If a fabric device or another switch is connected to the switch, the switch port must be online. 2. Enter the portLogShow or portLogDump commands. 3. Verify the event area for the port state entry is pstate. The command entry AC indicates that the port has completed point-to-point initialization. switch:admin> portlogdumpport 4 time task event port cmd args 11:38:21.726 INTR pstate 4 AC 4. Skip over the loop initialization phase. After becoming an active port, the port becomes an F_Port or an E_Port depending on the device on the opposite side. If the opposite device is a fabric device, the port becomes an F_Port. If the opposite device is another switch, the port becomes an E_Port. If there is a problem with the fabric device, enter the portCfgGPort to force the port to try to come up as point-to-point only. Correcting a port that has come up in the wrong mode 1. Enter the switchShow command. 2. Check the output from the switchShow command and follow the suggested actions in Table 4. TABLE 4 Output Disabled Bypassed Loopback E_Port F_Port SwitchShow output and suggested action Suggested action If the port is disabled (for example, due to persistent disable or security reasons), attempt to resolve the issue and then enter the portEnable or portCfgPersistentEnable command. The port may be testing. The port may be testing. If the opposite side is not another switch, the link has come up in a wrong mode. Check the output from the portLogShow or PortLogDump commands and identify the link initialization stage where the initialization procedure went wrong. If the opposite side of the link is a private loop device or a switch, the link has come up in a wrong mode. Check the output from portLogShow or PortLogDump commands.
