Table 8-1 Reason Codes for Nonoperational States
Reason Code Description
Applicable
Mode
Link failure or not connected The physical layer link is not operational. All
SFP not present The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) hardware
is not plugged in.
Initializing The physical layer link is operational and the
protocol initialization is in progress.
Reconfigure fabric in progress The fabric is currently being reconfigured.
Offline The Cisco SAN-OS software waits for the
specified R_A_TOV time before retrying
initialization.
Inactive The interface VSAN is deleted or is in a suspended
state.
To make the interface operational, assign that port
to a configured and active VSAN.
Hardware failure A hardware failure is detected.
Error disabled Error conditions require administrative attention.
Interfaces may be error-disabled for various
reasons. For example:
• Configuration failure.
• Incompatible buffer-to-buffer credit
configuration.
To make the interface operational, you must first
fix the error conditions causing this state; then,
administratively shut down and reenable the
interface.
Isolation due to ELP failure The port negotiation failed. Only E ports
and TE ports
Isolation due to ESC failure The port negotiation failed.
Isolation due to domain
overlap
The Fibre Channel domains (fcdomain) overlap.
Isolation due to domain ID
assignment failure
The assigned domain ID is not valid.
Isolation due to other side E
port isolated
The E port at the other end of the link is isolated.
Isolation due to invalid fabric
reconfiguration
The port is isolated due to fabric reconfiguration.
Isolation due to domain
manager disabled
The fcdomain feature is disabled.
Isolation due to zone merge
failure
The zone merge operation failed.
Isolation due to VSAN
mismatch
The VSANs at both ends of an ISL are different.
