860   Fibre Channel network fabric is too big.

Explanation

The number of Fibre Channel (FC) logins made to the node exceeds the allowed limit. The node continues to operate, but only communicates with the logins made before the limit was reached. The order in which other devices log into the node cannot be determined, so the node’s FC connectivity might vary after each restart. The connection might be with host systems, other storage systems, or with other nodes.

This error might be the reason the node is unable to participate in a system.

The number of allowed logins per node is 1024.

User response

This error indicates a problem with the Fibre Channel fabric configuration. It is resolved by reconfiguring the FC switch:
  1. If possible, use the management GUI to run the recommended actions for the associated service error code.
  2. Rezone the FC network so only the ports the node needs to connect to are visible to it.
