User Action |
Necessary information is missing for this switch. Retry later.
|
The user has attempted an action which cannot be completed until specific information has been retrieved from the switch. This condition usually corrects within several seconds.
If the condition doesn't correct itself, verify that the switch is reachable in the fabric, and that the fabric is reachable from the user's workstation. When the switch is reachable again, then wait for the application to retrieve complete information from the switch (this may take up to one minute), or refresh the display. |
Necessary information is missing for this switch. Firmware version on this switch is unsupported. |
The user has attempted an action that cannot be completed because it requires information from the switch which the switch does not support.
Update the firmware on the switch to the latest version. |
One of the selected ports is currently in use as a donor port to allow for extended credits on another port. Modifications to donor ports are not permitted. |
Unselect the donor ports, and then retry the operation.
|
Request for switch reset failed because admin access was not available. |
Verify that another user is not currently modifying the switch configuration, using either the management application, or a telnet login, or any application, and then retry the operation. |
Failed to clear the trap log. Or Request to reset to factory defaults has failed. Or Request for switch reset failed. Or Port reset failed. Or Zone set deactivation failed. |
Verify that the user has permissions to modify the configuration on the switch, that the switch is reachable in the fabric, and that the fabric is reachable from the user’s workstation, then retry the configuration change. |
Reset will complete shortly. There will be a brief loss of connectivity with switch. |
Wait for the switch to become reachable again. This may take up to one minute. |
Resetting to factory defaults will disrupt traffic and cause current switch configuration to be lost. |
This action is disruptive to the fabric. Verify that this is the action that you wish to take. |
Resetting the switch will disrupt traffic. Do you wish to continue? Or Deactivating the active zone set will disrupt traffic. Do you wish to continue? |
The requested action will cause the servers and storage systems attached to the fabric to lose communications until the switch reset is complete and the fabric has re-initialized. If this is acceptable, then continue; otherwise cancel the operation. |
Showing Last Known State |
The switch state displayed by the application cannot be updated because the switch has become unreachable. Verify that the switch is reachable in the fabric, and that the fabric is reachable from the user’s workstation. |
The online port loopback test can only be performed on a single port at a time. There are multiple ports selected. Continue with loopback test on first selected port |

The zoning information you are about to edit is incomplete. If you apply changes you will possibly lose zoning information. |
The application has not been able to completely read the current zoning database from the switch. If the user edits the incomplete database information and applies the changes, then any information which has not been read from the switch will be lost.
If this is acceptable, then continue. Otherwise, verify that the switch is reachable in the fabric, and that the fabric is reachable from the user's workstation then refresh the display and verify that the zoning database has been completely read, then retry the operation. |
