Parsing failures If the configuration file contains errors while being parsed, the AMM Web interface displays an Open Fabric Manager Configuration Failure. The page contains a table that shows the line number of each error and a brief description of the error. You must fix all of the errors in the configuration file before continuing. For a detailed description of these errors, see "Error messages" on page 34. Connection failures If the AMM is unable to connect to any of the chassis' that are listed in the configuration file, the Web interface displays an Open Fabric Manager Configuration Failure. The page contains a table that shows the IP address of the chassis it is unable to connect to. If you want to ignore this chassis and apply the configuration anyway, you can press Ignore. Ignoring a chassis might result in duplicate addresses, because the AMM cannot compare the addresses against the ones that are being used by the unreachable chassis. You can also suppress this warning by selecting the Continue on error advanced option on the Apply a Configuration page. Login failures The AMM uses the user name and password that you used to login to the current AMM to attempt to login to the other AMMs. If the AMM fails to login to the other AMMs using these credentials, the Web interface displays an Open Fabric Manager Autentication Failure page. This page gives you the option to provide an alternate user name and password for the chassis. If you check the box next to use this user and password for the rest of the AMMs, this user name and password will be attempted on all other chassis the AMM fails to connect to. After you fill in the user name and password, click Retry. If you wish to ignore this chassis and continue to apply the configuration anyway click Ignore. If you wish to ignore all the chassis to which the AMM fails to login click Ignore All. Ignoring a chassis might result in duplicate addresses since the AMM cannot compare the addresses against the ones that are being used by the unreachable chassis. You can also suppress this warning by selecting the Continue on error advanced option on the Apply a Configuration page. Important: You can get a login failed message in cases where all the TCP Command Mode connections to the AMM are in use. If you get the login failed message when using a valid user name and password, make sure that the AMM connection limit of the AMM you failed to login to is more than the number of connections in use (if, for example, Director is using one connection). This is controlled through the AMM Web interface on MM Control→Network Protocols→TCP Command Mode Protocol. Retrieve failure If the AMM fails to retrieve the OFM configuration from any of the chassis, the Web interface displays an Open Fabric Manager Retrieve Failure page. Failure to retrieve the OFM configuration usually occurs when the other chassis' do not support OFM or if there are communication errors. Chapter 6. Troubleshooting 33

Parsing
failures
If
the
configuration
file
contains
errors
while
being
parsed,
the
AMM
Web
interface
displays
an
Open
Fabric
Manager
Configuration
Failure
.
The
page
contains
a
table
that
shows
the
line
number
of
each
error
and
a
brief
description
of
the
error.
You
must
fix
all
of
the
errors
in
the
configuration
file
before
continuing.
For
a
detailed
description
of
these
errors,
see
“Error
messages”
on
page
34.
Connection
failures
If
the
AMM
is
unable
to
connect
to
any
of
the
chassis’
that
are
listed
in
the
configuration
file,
the
Web
interface
displays
an
Open
Fabric
Manager
Configuration
Failure
.
The
page
contains
a
table
that
shows
the
IP
address
of
the
chassis
it
is
unable
to
connect
to.
If
you
want
to
ignore
this
chassis
and
apply
the
configuration
anyway,
you
can
press
Ignore
.
Ignoring
a
chassis
might
result
in
duplicate
addresses,
because
the
AMM
cannot
compare
the
addresses
against
the
ones
that
are
being
used
by
the
unreachable
chassis.
You
can
also
suppress
this
warning
by
selecting
the
Continue
on
error
advanced
option
on
the
Apply
a
Configuration
page.
Login
failures
The
AMM
uses
the
user
name
and
password
that
you
used
to
login
to
the
current
AMM
to
attempt
to
login
to
the
other
AMMs.
If
the
AMM
fails
to
login
to
the
other
AMMs
using
these
credentials,
the
Web
interface
displays
an
Open
Fabric
Manager
Autentication
Failure
page.
This
page
gives
you
the
option
to
provide
an
alternate
user
name
and
password
for
the
chassis.
If
you
check
the
box
next
to
use
this
user
and
password
for
the
rest
of
the
AMMs
,
this
user
name
and
password
will
be
attempted
on
all
other
chassis
the
AMM
fails
to
connect
to.
After
you
fill
in
the
user
name
and
password,
click
Retry
.
If
you
wish
to
ignore
this
chassis
and
continue
to
apply
the
configuration
anyway
click
Ignore
.
If
you
wish
to
ignore
all
the
chassis
to
which
the
AMM
fails
to
login
click
Ignore
All
.
Ignoring
a
chassis
might
result
in
duplicate
addresses
since
the
AMM
cannot
compare
the
addresses
against
the
ones
that
are
being
used
by
the
unreachable
chassis.
You
can
also
suppress
this
warning
by
selecting
the
Continue
on
error
advanced
option
on
the
Apply
a
Configuration
page.
Important:
You
can
get
a
login
failed
message
in
cases
where
all
the
TCP
Command
Mode
connections
to
the
AMM
are
in
use.
If
you
get
the
login
failed
message
when
using
a
valid
user
name
and
password,
make
sure
that
the
AMM
connection
limit
of
the
AMM
you
failed
to
login
to
is
more
than
the
number
of
connections
in
use
(if,
for
example,
Director
is
using
one
connection).
This
is
controlled
through
the
AMM
Web
interface
on
MM
Control
→
Network
Protocols
→
TCP
Command
Mode
Protocol.
Retrieve
failure
If
the
AMM
fails
to
retrieve
the
OFM
configuration
from
any
of
the
chassis,
the
Web
interface
displays
an
Open
Fabric
Manager
Retrieve
Failure
page.
Failure
to
retrieve
the
OFM
configuration
usually
occurs
when
the
other
chassis’
do
not
support
OFM
or
if
there
are
communication
errors.
