You might need to replace the
small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) transceiver when a failure occurs
on a single Fibre Channel or 10G Ethernet link.
Before you begin
The
following items can indicate that a single Fibre Channel or 10G Ethernet link
failed:
- An error that indicates that a
single port failed (703, 723).
About this task
>Use only supported 10 Gb SFP transceivers. Using any other SFP transceivers can lead to unexpected
system behavior.
Procedure
Attempt each of these actions, in the following order, until the failure is
fixed.
-
Ensure that the
Fibre Channel or 10G Ethernet cable is securely connected at each end.
-
Replace the Fibre Channel or 10G Ethernet cable.
-
Replace the SFP transceiver for the
failing port on the node.
Note: The system is
supported by both longwave SFP transceivers and shortwave SFP transceivers. You must replace an
SFP transceiver with the same type
of SFP transceiver. If the SFP transceiver to replace is a longwave
SFP transceiver, for example, you
must provide a suitable replacement. Removing the wrong SFP transceiver might result in loss of
data access.
-
Perform the Fibre Channel switch or FCF service procedures for
a failing Fibre Channel or 10G Ethernet with Fibre Channel over Ethernet personality
enabled link. This procedure might involve replacing the SFP transceiver at the
switch.
-
Replace the Fibre Channel adapter on the node.
