Explanation
A Fibre Channel adapter failed. On Storwize® V7000 and FlashSystem 9100, the adapter is on the node canister system
board.
This node error does not, in itself, stop the node or node canister from becoming active in the
system. However, the Fibre Channel network might be being used to communicate between the nodes or
node canisters in a clustered system. Therefore, it is possible that this node error indicates the
reason why the critical node error 550 A cluster cannot be formed because of a lack of
cluster resources is reported on the node or node canister.
Data:
- On Storwize V7000 and FlashSystem 9100, a number that indicates the adapter location. Location 0 indicates that
the adapter that is integrated into the system board is being reported.
- On SAN Volume Controller, Storwize V5000, Storwize V5000E, and FlashSystem 5000, Storwize V5100, FlashSystem 5100,, a number that indicates the
adapter location. The location indicates an adapter slot. See the node or node canister description
for the definition of the adapter slot locations.
User response
- If possible, use the management GUI to
run the suggested actions for the associated service error code.
- On Storwize V7000 and FlashSystem 9100,
because the adapter is on the system board, replace the node canister by using the remove and
replace procedures.
- On SAN Volume Controller, use the remove and replace procedures to replace the adapter. If this procedure
does not fix the problem, replace the system board.
