4. Compare the RA_TOV and ED_TOV timeout values for all switches in the
fabric using the Show Config Switch command or the Switch data tab of the
SANsurfer Switch Manager topology display. Is each timeout value the same
on every switch?
 Yes - Continue.
 No - Correct the timeout values on the offending switches using the
Set Config Switch command or the SANsurfer Switch Manager Switch
Properties dialog. Reset the port. If the condition remains, continue.
5. Display the active zone set on each switch using the Zoning Active
command or the Active Zoneset tab of the SANsurfer Switch Manager
topology display. Compare the zone membership between the two active
zone sets. Are they the same?
 Yes - Contact your authorized maintenance provider.
 No - Deactivate one of the active zone sets or edit the conflicting zones
so that their membership is the same. Reset the port. If the condition
remains, contact your authorized maintenance provider.
5.2.2.2
Excessive Port Errors
The switch can monitor a set of port errors and generates alarms based on
user-defined sample windows and thresholds. These port errors include the
following:
 CRC errors
 Decode errors
 ISL connection count
 Login errors
 Logout errors
 Loss-of-signal errors
Port threshold alarm monitoring is disabled by default. Refer to the SANbox 5600
Series Switch Management User’s Guide for information about managing port
threshold alarms.
NOTE: This can be caused by merging two fabrics whose active
zone sets have two zones with the same name, but
different membership.
