IVR-2
Explanation This can happen if failure happens during building, distributing or committing the
virtual dynamic pfcid table
Recommended Action Please 1. check the fabric connection or 2. check current virtual
user-configured pfcid entries and internally assigned virtual fcid entries for possible conflict
Explanation Due to port flaps, link outages, switch restart etc. a CFS peer switch of IVR was lost.
The current configuration changes would not be applied to this peer until the peer merges with this
switch. The CFS merge may fail if the configuration at the lost peer conflicts with the changes made
in this session. Also, IVR auto topology could be out of sync. with this peer. It is recommended that
the user abort this CFS session using ivr abort command and then re-enter the configuration
changes.
Explanation Failed to program FCID rewrite entries probably because the hardware ran out of FCID
rewrite entries. This can happen if there are too many devices in Inter-VSAN zone or too many local
VSANs in VSAN topology
Recommended Action Reduce the number of devices involved in IVR in the active IVR zoneset.
Also, reduce the number of redundant transit VSANs, if any

OL-26589-01 2-259
Chapter 2 System Messages and Recovery Procedures for the Cisco MDS 9000 and Nexus 7000 Family
Explanation This probably happened because NAT mode was modified without completely
deactivating the active IVR zoneset
Explanation Failed to program VSAN rewrite entries probably because the hardware ran out of
VSAN rewrite entries. This can happen if there are too many devices in Inter-VSAN zone or too
many local VSANs in VSAN topology
Recommended Action Reduce the number of domains involved in IVR by moving the members of
active IVR zoneset to fewer switches. Also, reduce the number of redundant transit VSANs, if any
Explanation Build Fabric (BF) failed in VSAN [dec]. The BF was initiated in order to remove an
unused virtual domain [dec] from the fcdomain list in that VSAN. The virtual domain still remains
in the fcdomain list and hence it would not be available in that VSAN for assignment.
Explanation Request Domain Identifier (RDI) command to allocate virtual domain [dec] failed in
VSAN [dec]. Received another domain [chars] instead. IVR-members connected to third-party
switch may not participate in IVR communications. It is likely that the domain requested in the RDI
command is already in use.
Recommended Action Reassign the domains so that the domain requested via RDI does not overlap
with any existing domain in that VSAN.
Explanation Inter-VSAN Routing disable failed for reason: [chars]. Cleanup might not have
completed
Recommended Action Deactivate ivr zoneset and disable ivr again. If that fails, then the ivr process
would terminate itself in 5 minutes

Explanation Inter-VSAN zoneset activation failed in VSAN [dec] : [chars]. This could be an
intermittent regular zoneset activation error. The activation will be retried in [dec] seconds.
Explanation License required for continued IVR operation is not available. Hence IVR is shutting
down
Recommended Action Install appropriate license for IVR services and then enable IVR again.
Explanation License required for continued IVR operation is not available. Unless the required
license is installed IVR would shutdown in [dec] seconds. IVR configurations would be lost.
Recommended Action Install appropriate license for IVR services to continute to operate
uninterrupted within [dec] seconds
Explanation This can happen if conflict happens during persistent virtual domain, or virtual fcid
entry configuration.
Recommended Action Please assign a non-conflict persistent virtual domain or fcid entry with
current dynamic entries
Explanation This can happen if the virtual domain/fcid configured by the user is - a) Already in use
(either by IVR or a real switch) b) Not allowed due to interop mode or allowed domain list
Recommended Action Please make sure that the configured virtual domain/fcid is allowed and
available for use

Explanation Currently advertised virtual domain [dec] in VSAN [dec] is native to VSAN [dec]. This
switch has learned of a device that is member of active IVR zone and has the same domain ID, but
belongs to a different native VSAN. This device would not be advertised in that VSAN until the
domain conflict is resolved.
Explanation This can happen if the virtual domain/fcid internally configured is already in use by
another active device
Recommended Action Please assign a different persistent virtual fcid by CLI command

Explanation ACL could not program IVR PLOGI could not be programmed. slot[dec] describes the
line card slot number and [chars] describes the system error message. PLOGI and its response may
be dropped because ivr process cannot capture those frames.

Explanation When device-alias sends the validation request, IVR database is locked and a timer is
started. For any reason, if device-alias commit/abort notification is not received within the expected
time frame, the lock timer gets expired and the lock is released. If device-alias commmit notification
is received after the lock is released, the changes are not applied and this could cause inconsistency
between IVR and device-alias.
Explanation This happens if ficon is enabled on VSANs [chars] and native switch of device with
port WWN [chars] is not present in the current active fabric binding database of those VSANs. This
is a requirement for ficon compliance.
Explanation Device has come online on a AFID/VSAN different from the configured native

Error Message IVR-3-DM_ERROR: Domain Manager API, [chars], failed with error [hex]
Explanation IVR invoked DM API and received the error code. [chars] describes the API and
0x[hex] specifies the error.
Explanation VSAN interop modes place restrictions on what domain ranges are allowed. This
domain is out of the range allowed for this interop mode. See the Cisco MDS 9000 Family
Configuration Guide for details on the domain range limitations.
Recommended Action Change the domain of the switch to which this IVR zone member is connected
to so that it is within the allowed domain list for the interop mode. The domain identifier can be
statically assigned using fcdomain interface. You can also configure a range of domains allowed in
a VSAN using the fcdomains'allowed-domains'interface.'
Error Message IVR-3-DOMAIN_UNAVAILABLE: Device with port WWN [chars] and FCID

gracefully because of a system restart (in which case no action needs to take place) or because of a
failure. The message associated with the syslog should be self explanatory to understand the reason
for the shutdown. If the process is able to restart properly, there is no immediate harm for the system

Error Message STP-2-BLOCK_BPDUGUARD: Received BPDU on port [chars] with BPDU Guard
enabled. Disabling port.
Explanation A BPDU was received in the interface specified in the error message that has the
spanning tree BPDU Guard feature enabled. As a result, the interface was administratively shut
down.
Recommended Action Either remove the device sending BPDUs or disable the BPDU Guard feature.
The BPDU Guard feature can be locally configured on the interface or globally configured on all
ports that have portfast enabled. After the conflict has been resolved, re-enable the interface by
entering the <CmdBold
Explanation The listed interface received SSTP BPDU indicating that peer is running PVST and will
be held in spanning tree blocking state until the interface stops receiving SSTP BPDUs
Recommended Action Either enable PVST simulation configuration for the interface or make sure
the port peer is not PVST switch
Explanation The spanning tree port associate with the listed spanning tree instance and interface will
be held in spanning tree blocking state until the Port VLAN ID (PVID) inconsistency is resolved.
The listed spanning tree instance is that of the native VLAN id of the listed interface.
Recommended Action Verify that the configuration of the native VLAN id is consistent on the
interfaces on each end of the 802.1Q trunk connection. Once corrected, spanning tree will
automatically unblock the interfaces as appropriate.
Explanation The spanning tree port associate with the listed spanning tree instance and interface will

Explanation BPDUs were not received from a neighboring switch on the interface that has spanning
tree Bridge Assurance configured. As a result, the interface was moved to the spanning tree
Blocking state
Explanation The interface listed in the message has been restored to normal spanning tree state after
receiving BPDUs from the neighboring L2 switch/bridge
Explanation The listed interface has stopped receiving Inferior BPDUs with designated role and
state as learning and/or forwarding. The Dispute has been resolved and if the port is still designated,
it will be taken out of the blocking state as and when appropriate.
Explanation The spanning tree has detected a Dispute on this interface. The BPDU received from
the peer is Inferior with designated role and state as learning and/or forwarding. Since this condition
could be caused by an unidirectional link failure, the interface is put into blocking state and marked
as disputed in order to prevent possible loops from being created
Explanation STP encountered an error in processing an MTS message. The error and message are
specified in the error message

Explanation A BPDU was received on the listed interface which advertises a superior spanning tree
root bridge to that currently in use. The interface is put into blocking state and marked as L2
Gateway Backbone port inconsistent in order to prevent a suboptimal spanning tree topology to
form.
Explanation The listed interface is no longer receiving BPDUs advertizing a superior root bridge.
The L2 Gateway Backbone port inconsistency is cleared for the interface and then it is taken out of
the blocking state if appropriate.
Explanation The spanning tree message age timer has expired because and no BPDUs were received
from the designated bridge. Since this condition could be caused by an unidirectional link failure,
the interface is put into blocking state and marked as loop guard inconsistent in order to prevent
possible loops from being created
Explanation The spanning tree loopguard configuration for the listed interface has been changed. If
enabled, the interface will be put into blocking state and marked as loopguard inconsistent when the
message age timer expires because no BPDU were received from the designated bridge. This feature
is mainly used to detect unidirectional links
Recommended Action Verify that this is the desired configuration for the listed interface. Correct it
if this is not the desired configuration otherwise no further action is required.
Explanation The listed interface has received a BPDU and therefore if the inconsistency was due to
an unidirectional link failure, now the problem is not there anymore. The loop guard inconsistency
is cleared for the interface which is taken out of the blocking state if appropriate.

OL-26589-01 2-463
Chapter 2 System Messages and Recovery Procedures for the Cisco MDS 9000 and Nexus 7000 Family
Explanation When a MST switch is connected to a PVST+ switch, the CIST (MST00) information
on the port of the MST switch must be consistently better than all the PVST+ messages if the port
is designated or consistently worse than all the PVST+ messages if the port is root. If this constraint
is not respected, the port on the MST switch is blocked in order to prevent a potential bridging loop
Recommended Action When STP is converging after a new switch, or switch port is added to the
topology, this condition may happen transiently. The port unblocks automatically in such cases. If
the port remains blocked, identify the root bridge as reported in the message, and configure a worse
or better priority for the VLAN spanning tree consistent with the CIST role on the port of the MST
switch. There could be more inconsistencies than the message indicates, and the port will not
recover until all such inconsistencies are cleared. If you cannot determine which other VLANs have
inconsistencies, disable and reenable the port. This message will appear again and specify another
VLAN with inconsistencies to be fixed. Repeat this process until all inconsistencies on all VLANs
are cleared.
Explanation The listed interface is no longer receiving PVST BPDUs advertising an information
inconsistent with the CIST port information. The PVST Simulation Inconsistency is cleared and the
interface returns to normal operation
Explanation There was a critical error during random number generation. [chars] indicates details
of the error
Error Message STP-2-RECV_BAD_TLV: Received SSTP BPDU with bad TLV on [chars]
[chars].
Explanation The list interface received a SSTP BPDU that was missing the VLAN id tag. The BPDU
is discarded.

Chapter 2 System Messages and Recovery Procedures for the Cisco MDS 9000 and Nexus 7000 Family
Explanation The listed interface received a SSTP BPDU that is tagged with a VLAN id that does
not match the VLAN id on which the BPDU was received. This occurs when the native VLAN is
not consistently configured on both ends of a 802.1Q trunk.
Recommended Action Verify that the configuration of the native VLAN id is consistent on the
interfaces on each end of the 802.1Q trunk connection. Once corrected, spanning tree will
automatically unblock the interfaces as appropriate.
Explanation A BPDU was received on the listed interface which advertizes a superior spanning tree
root bridge to that currently in use. The interface is put into blocking state and marked as root guard
inconsistent in order to prevent a suboptimal spanning tree topology to form.
Explanation The spanning tree root guard configuration for the listed interface has been changed. If
enabled, any BPDU received on ths interface which advertizes a superior spanning tree root bridge
to that already in use will cause the interface to be put into blocking state and marked as root guard
inconsistent.
Recommended Action Verify that this is the desired configuration for the listed interface. Correct it
if this is not the desired configuration otherwise no further action is required.
Explanation The listed interface is no longer receiving BPDUs advertizing a superior root bridge.
The root guard inconsistency is cleared for the interface and then it is taken out of the blocking state
if appropriate.
Explanation The port set port state has failed. check port

Explanation The port set port state has timedout. check port
Recommended Action Please contact the Cisco reseller through which you procured the product for
support. If you have purchased a Cisco support contract please call Cisco TAC for support.
Explanation This can happen as a result of a topology change in the network while the Linecard was
undergoing ISSU. Since STP cannot change the port state to blocking on the Linecard undergoing
ISSU, it will first try to prevent the Loop by causing a Dispute on the peer ports forcing them into
blocking state. But if the peer does not support Dispute mechanism, and STP detects a potential
Loop, it will reset the Linecard to prevent the Loop
Explanation The Port VLAN ID and/or Port Type inconsistencies have been resolved and spanning
tree will now unblock the listed interface of the listed spanning tree instance as appropriate.
Explanation The listed interface has stopped receiving SSTP BPDUs and so will be restored to
normal spanning tree state

Explanation The listed interface is being held in spanning tree blocking state until the port type
inconsistency is resolved.
Recommended Action Verify that the configuration and operational state of the listed interface and
that of the interface to which it is connected have the same mode (access vs trunk). If mode is trunk,
verify the same encapsulation (ISL, 802.1Q). Once these parameters are consistent, spanning tree
will automatically unblock the interfaces as appropriate.
Error Message STP-3-PORT_SELF_LOOPED: Received BPDU src mac same as that of port.
Port self loopback detected. Port [chars] being disabled
Explanation The source MAC address contained in a BPDU received on the listed interface matches
the MAC address assigned to that interface This indicates the possibility that a port is looped back
to itself, possibly due to a diagnostic cable being plugged in. The interface will be administratively
shutdown.
Recommended Action Check the interface configuration and any cable plugged into the interface.
Once problem resolved, re-enable interface by doing a no shutdown in the interface configuration.
Copy the error message as it is printed and also copy the output of a show interface for the interace
listed in the error message.

Explanation No Mdisk is suitable for use as a quorum disk. When a cluster is created three disks are
automatically selected as quorum disks. A quorum disk is needed to enable a tie-break when some
cluster members are missing. To become a quorum disk: The Mdisk must be accessible by all nodes
in the cluster and the Mdisk must have free extents. This error code is produced when at least one
quorum disk is not accessible by all nodes in the cluster. A quorum disk might not be available
because of a fibre-channel network failure or because of a fibre-channel switch zoning problem.
Recommended Action 1. Resolve any known fibre-channel network problems. 2. Ask the customer
to confirm that Mdisks have been created and that those mdisks have free extents. 3. List the manage
disks. If at least one managed disk shows a mode of managed, mark the error you have just repaired

Explanation The user has allocated more virtualized storage than licensed for or established a Flash
Copy mapping or Remote Copy relationship when these have not been licensed.
Recommended Action Look in the featurisation log for log entries of type

Recommended Action Determine if the remote node is still online. If not, perform problem
determination on the remote node. If it is, retry the command. If it still fails contact the IBM Support
Center for assistance. Cisco CLI commands may be used to access the node directly as an
alternative.
Explanation Following node remove by the user, there are no nodes left in the IO group.
Explanation A software upgrade has failed. This might be because of a hardware error or it might
be because of a failure in the new version of the software. An automatic software downgrade is
performed to restore the nodes to their previous software version. This will be indicated in the log
by a
Softwaredowngradecomplete'entry.Ifthedowngradeoperationfailstodowngradeanode,forexamplebe

Recommended Action 1. Display the status of the nodes on the cluster. 2. If any node is offline, delete
the offline node from the cluster. If the delete fails with a message indicating that a software upgrade
is in progress, this means that the downgrade process is still active. Wait for this operation to either
complete or stop on the offline node and then retry the delete. If the downgrade operation had
stopped, it will now continue. 3. Solve all logged hardware problems 4. Ask the user to retry the
software install. 5. If the installation fails again, report the problem to your software support center.
6. Mark the error you have just repaired as fixed.

Explanation An error occured while sending the software package to the nodes.
Recommended Action 1. Display the status of the nodes on the cluster. 2. If any node is offline,
perform problem determination on the node and bring the node back online. Or, alternatively, delete
the offline node from the cluster. 3. Retry the software retry the delete. If the downgrade operation
had stopped, it will now continue. 3. Solve upgrade command. 4. If the installation fails again, report
the problem to your software support center.
Explanation This cluster is no longer able to communicate with the remote copy partner cluster.
Recommended Action Perform problem determination on the network and the other cluster.
Explanation In a remote-copy operation, the relationship has stopped and lost synchronization, for
a reason other than a continuous I/O error.
Recommended Action 1. Correct higher priority errors, then restart the remote copy. 2. Mark the error
you have just repaired as fixed.
Explanation A Remote Copy relationship has been stopped because of a continuous I/O error.
Recommended Action 1. Correct the higher priority errors, then retry the Remote Copy task. 2. Mark
the error you have just repaired as fixed.
Explanation Remote Copy was unable to find a path to the device in the remote cluster within the
timeout period.
Recommended Action Perform problem determination on the network and remote cluster: Ensure that
all nodes in both clusters are configured in the inter-cluster SAN or VSAN. Ensure that all virtual
disks in the remote cluster are online.

Explanation During a copy or a migrate process a media error was copied to the destination disk.
Explanation There are not enough extents contained within the managed disk group to create the
required virtual disk. This error can be logged if a migration is started and then a virtual disk is
created which uses the extents that were to be used for the migration.
Recommended Action Add additional managed disks to the managed disk group or reduce the size of
virtual disk to be created.
Explanation The specific migration has been stopped due to errors occurring during migration, these
errors have been logged.
Recommended Action Analyze the error log. Perform problem determination and correct any errors
which have occurred. Migrate any specific extents which were not migrated due to the errors.
Recommended Action 1. Ensure that all error codes of a higher priority have already been fixed. 2.
Ask the customer to ensure that all mdisk groups that are the destination of suspended migrate
operations have free extents available. 3. Mark this error as fixed. This will cause the migrate
operation to be restarted. If the restart fails a new error will be logged.
Recommended Action 1. Ask the customer to rewrite the bad data to the block LBA reported in the
host systems SCSI sense data. Note: If this error has occurred during a migration, the host system
will notice the error until the target device is accessed. 2. Check managed disk status. If all managed
disks show a status of online, mark the error you have just repaired as fixed.

Explanation IOs to the managed disk have experienced sufficient errors to generate this warning. If
the managed disk continues to experience IO errors, the managed disk may be excluded.
Explanation The cluster has a connection to the device on the SAN through this node, but the device
has not responded to the node in a manner consistent with a functional device LUN.
Recommended Action If there are device LUNs that should have been discovered by the node: 1)
Perform a manual discovery. 2) Perform problem determination on the device.
Explanation The preferred port designated by the back end controller is not being used for Managed
Disk access. A port error or excluded port has prevented the use of the preferred port.
Recommended Action Perform problem determination on the controller and network to determine the
cause of the port error or exclusion.
Explanation Cluster recovery has failed and a software dump has been created.

Explanation Enough customer data has been unpinned that the cache is no longer required to operate
in write through mode because of the pinned data. (Note that the cache may still operate in write
through mode for other reasons.)
Explanation Battery capacity has been restored to above threshold. The node will now come online.
Explanation The process has received a poweroff or power failure indication. The node is shutting
down.
Recommended Action Restore power. If power was not removed and this occurs: 1. Reload the node.
2. If the error persists, re-install the code on the line card. The node(s) will then have to be removed
and re-added back to the cluster. 3. If the error persists, replace the Caching Services Module.
