Switch message logs 2 Symptom I2C bus errors are appearing in the switch log. Probable cause and recommended action I2C bus errors generally indicate defective hardware or poorly seated devices or blades; the specific item is listed in the error message. See the Fabric OS Message Reference for information specific to the error that was received. Some Chip-Port (CPT) and Environmental Monitor (EM) messages contain I2C-related information. If the I2C message does not indicate the specific hardware that may be failing, begin debugging the hardware, as this is the most likely cause. The next sections provide procedures for debugging the hardware. Symptom Core file or FFDC warning messages appear on the serial console or in the system log. Probable cause and recommended action Issue the supportSave command. The messages can be dismissed by issuing the supportSave -R command after all data is confirmed to be collected properly.
