FCVI Source Identifier Message

mr — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:40:38 GMT

Hello,

I installed a Fabric Attached Metro Cluster last week with DOT8.0.2P3. At a boot/reboot and at a giveback I see some strange messages.

I know, it is normal at boot/giveback, that a reset of a FCVI Card can happend. But following message is strange: "Source identifier for FCVI interconnect message (0) is invalid; dropping the message. Check cabling for a port mismatch." I checked the cables and switches, everything looks good.

Here is the output during a giveback...

Reviving this old thread

We had that same issue today as well. When the taken over filer was booted to "Waiting for giveback" this message was displayed. However giveback was succesful and afterwards cf status and cf monitor showed all okay.

Does anyone have any ideas?
