This message is generated when an internal port that is connected to a switch fabric link is down. The message is not generated unless the port down condition is persistent, and the blades at either end of the link remain Operational. There is no corresponding message that shows that the port has come back up. The message is repeated once every hour if the condition persists. The message shows the internal port that has gone down and also shows the internal port at the other end of the link. If that port also goes down, a separate message may be generated for it. To see the current port state, use the "debug hal show sys-health-check" command and look for the display marked "[Fabric Port Events]". The first slot-unit-port in the message is identified in the Flapped column of the command output. The connected slot-unit-port in the message is identified in the Remote column. The Transitions column shows the number of times the port state changed since the blades at both ends of the related switch fabric link went Operational. A large number of transitions could indicate a port state flapping condition.
This message could mean that a blade at one end of the link is not making proper contact with the backplane. Reseating either or both blades could cure the problem. It may also mean that backplane connectors are damaged, e.g., bent pins. In this case, reseating the blade could cause further damage. Visual inspection is recommended before either blade is reinserted. If the slot at both ends of the link is the same, the link is entirely contained on the blade, and this message could indicate that the hardware has failed.
