25 Gbps Ethernet link failures

When a failure occurs on a single 25 Gbps Ethernet link, the OM3 cable or the small form-factor pluggable 28 (SFP28) transceiver might need to be replaced.

Before you begin

The following items can indicate that a single Fibre Channel link failed.
  • The port status LEDs near the port at the rear of the node canister flashes yellow to indicate a problem with the link.
  • An error event that indicates a single port failed.

About this task

Attempt each of these actions, in the following order, until the failure is fixed.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the OM3 cable is securely connected at each end.
  2. Replace the OM3 cable.
  3. Replace the SFP28 transceiver for the failing port on the node.
    Note: You must replace an SFP28 transceiver with the same type of SFP28 transceiver.
  4. Replace the 25 Gbps Ethernet adapter.
    Note:  You must replace an adapter with the same type of adapter.
  5. If needed, contact Remote Technical Support for more assistance.
