LIF are administravely up but operationally down

chinchillaking

Hello,

Just for reference. when setup new FAS and new NetApp (Brocade) SAN switch, the SVM LIF administravely up but operationally down and OnTap event display below messages.

fct_tpd_work_thread_0: scsitarget.ispfct.configChanged:notice]: FCP target 0f reported a port configuration change. FDISC RJT - FDISC failed because a LS_RJT was received for virtual port

When initial troubleshoot, refer below KB and we suspect SAN switch firmware problem even did not mention Brocade SAN switch, afte upgrade SAN switch to latest suppor tversion still cannot fix.

https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Systems/FAS_Systems/Logical_Interfaces_(LIF)_up_down_after_ONTAP_node_Reboot

After review Brocade SAN switch errdump display warning "2021/05/18-11:15:04, [SWCH-1046], 67, FID 128, WARNING, Brocade_G610_A, Configured NPIV Login Limit of 0 exceeded on port index 1", check portcfgshow display all port "NPIV PP Limit 0".

We don't know why both new SAN switch setting with "NPIV PP Limit 0", after reset port to default "NPIV PP Limit 126", problem fixed.

Have you seen the issue return since you have made the corrective changes?

Were there any changes made prior to the port configuration change was reported/noticed?

Hi @chinchillaking,

Could you explain what you meant by "please review all devices error mesages first, do not trust the new device come with default setting. "?

We are missing review the SAN switch event and error messages when initial troubleshoot. Because it was new SAN switch and we assume the setting come with default.

Also,

Issue did not return after change the SAN switch port config to default.

Were there any changes made prior to the port configuration change was reported/noticed?

Two SAN switch are fresh, but the port setting with NVIP PP limit is 0, this setting will not allow LIF login to SAN switc because the limit is 0. Check with Fabric OS port NPIV default setting should not 0.
