720 Ethernet adapter that was previously present has not been detected.

Explanation

On Storwize® V7000, FlashSystem 7200, FlashSystem 9100, and FlashSystem 9200, an Ethernet adapter that was previously present is not detected. The adapters form a part of the canister assembly.

On Storwize V5000, Storwize V5000E, and FlashSystem 5000, an Ethernet adapter that was previously present is not detected. The adapter might have been removed deliberately, it might not be installed correctly, or it might have failed.

On SAN Volume Controller, IBM Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud, and IBM Spectrum Virtualize, an Ethernet adapter that was previously present is not detected. The adapter might not be correctly installed or it might have failed.

Data:
  • On Storwize V5000, Storwize V5000E, FlashSystem 5000, Storwize V7000, FlashSystem 7200, FlashSystem 9100, and FlashSystem 9200, a number that indicates the adapter location. The location indicates an adapter slot. See the node canister description for the definition of the adapter slot locations. If the location is 0, the adapter is integrated into the system board or directly connected to it, that is, not in a PCI express expansion slot.
  • On SAN Volume Controller, IBM Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud, and IBM Spectrum Virtualize, a number that indicates the adapter location. The location indicates an adapter slot. See the node description for the definition of the adapter slot locations. If the location is 0, the adapter is integrated into the system board or directly connected to it, that is, not in a PCI express expansion slot.

User response

On Storwize V7000, FlashSystem 7200, FlashSystem 9100, and FlashSystem 9200, complete the following steps:
  1. If possible, use the management GUI to run the suggested actions for the associated service error code.
  2. Because the Ethernet adapters are integrated into the node canisters, replace the node canister by using the remove and replace procedures.
On Storwize V5000, Storwize V5000E, and FlashSystem 5000, complete the following steps:
  1. If possible, use the management GUI to run the suggested actions for the associated service error code.
  2. If the adapter location is 0, use the remove and replace procedures to replace the node canister.
On SAN Volume Controller, complete the following steps:
  1. If possible, use the management GUI to run the suggested actions for the associated service error code.
  2. If the adapter location is 0, use the remove and replace procedures to replace the Ethernet edge board, if an Ethernet edge board is installed, or the system board.
  3. If the location is not 0, a number of possibilities exist.
    1. Use the remove and replace procedures to remove and open the node and check that the adapter is fully installed.
    2. If the previous steps did not locate and isolate the problem, use the remove and replace procedures to replace the adapter. If this procedure does not fix the problem, replace the system board.
On IBM Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud and IBM Spectrum Virtualize, complete the following steps:
  1. If possible, use the management GUI to run the suggested actions for the associated service error code.
  2. Contact your hardware manufacturer.
