CEE network problems (CNAs only)
This section provides information to resolve problems of CNA operation on the converged
enhanced Ethernet (CEE) network.
CEE is not enabled
The CEE state does not show “CEE Linkup” when you run the BCU port --query command.
1. Possible Cause: The link between the CNA port and switch is down.
Action: Run the cee --query command for the port to gain a better understanding of LLDP
attributes, CEE maps, and priority tables configured for the port. Also check the error reason
code for the CEE link failure. The error reason code will tell you why the CEE is not enabled or
active. If the error reason is “Physical Link down,” refer to
and
“Verifying Fibre Channel and CEE links (stand-up adapters)”
2. Possible Cause: Adapter did not receive CEE configuration or received invalid CEE
configuration from the FCoE switch.
Action: Run the BCU cee --query command for the port to gain a better understanding of LLDP
attributes and CEE configuration (such as CEE maps and priority tables) configured for the
port. Also check for the error reason code for the CEE link failure. The reason code will tell you
why the CEE is not enabled or active. Change or fix the CEE configuration at the switch
appropriately based on the displayed error reason code.
Action: Check FCoE switch configuration using the appropriate Fabric OS command on the
attached switch. Refer to the
Fabric OS Command Reference Manual
for information. Change
configuration as necessary using appropriate Fabric OS command on the attached switch.
Refer to the
Fabric OS Command Reference Manual
for information.
3. Possible Cause: The front-end Ethernet port on the FCoE switch is not configured as
“switchport” or is not set to converged mode.
Action: Use the appropriate Fabric OS command on the attached switch to display information
about the VLAN interface. Refer to the
Fabric OS Command Reference Manual
for information.
Action: Configure the FCoE port as a “switchport” using the appropriate Fabric OS command on
the attached switch. Refer to the
Fabric OS Command Reference Manual
for information.
Action: Configure the FCoE port to converged mode using the appropriate Fabric OS command
on the attached switch.
HCM and HCM Agent problems
This section provides information to help resolve problems with HCM installation and operation.
Failed to connect to agent on host... error when using HCM
An “Adapter failed to connect to agent on host...” message indicates that the client application
cannot connect to the HCM agent listening on the configured port (normally TCP port 34568). Refer
to the following descriptions of possible causes and recommended actions to help resolve the
problem.
