FAS8040 missing 4 onboard ports

SEIMTEXTER

e0e through e0h are not showing up in my sysconfig -v output on one of two controllers in one of our customer's FAS8040 systems.  I am curious if there's a way to enable these ports, or if there's a replaceable component besides a full controller replacement to fix this.  Any input is welcome.  Thanks!

Hello, 

If the ports are missing in sysconfig -v, likely there's a dead PCIe switch which requires a PCM replacement.

e0e-e0h are UTA2 ports, so first you need to check if it's actually missing or not. 

Possibly, It would have been configured for FC, which won't show e0e-e0h in sysconfig -v but  only shows  0e-0h

you can check the port personality using the command "ucadmin show" , if the mentioned ports shows as FC mode then it needs to be changed to CNA. 

1. network fcp adapter modify -node node_name -adapter adapter_name -status-admin down
2. ucadmin modify -node node_name -adapter adapter_name -mode cna

Reboot the node, and then bring the adapter online.
