cabling Suggested Action 1
Use the CLI showcage command to verify that both cages are available through two ports, before
replacing the cable specified in the error message.

cabling Suggested Action 2
For cables that should be moved to different ports in the same I/O module: Use the CLI showcage
command to verify that the cage is available through two ports, before moving the cable(s) to the
specified ports. For cables that should be moved between different I/O modules and/or cages,
contact HP support to request support for changing the cabling of your system. See “Contacting
HP Support about System Setup” (page 73). Moving cables on a running system can cause
degraded PDs and LDs.
