FABS Messages

FABS-1001

Message: <Function name> <Description of memory need>.

Message Type: FFDC | LOG

Severity: CRITICAL

Probable Cause: Indicates that the system is low on memory and cannot allocate more memory for new operations. This is usually an internal Network OS problem or file corruption. The Description of memory need variable specifies the memory size that was being requested. The value could be any whole number.

Recommended Action: Reload or power cycle the switch.

FABS-1002

Message:<Function name> <Description of problem>.

Message Type: LOG

Severity: WARNING

Probable Cause: Indicates that an internal problem has been detected by the software. This is usually an internal Network OS problem or file corruption.

Recommended Action: Reload or power cycle the switch.

If the message persists, execute the firmware download command to update the firmware.

FABS-1004

Message: <Function name and description of problem> process <Process ID number> (<Current command name>) <Pending signal number>.

Message Type: LOG

Severity: WARNING

Probable Cause: Indicates that an operation has been interrupted by a signal. This is usually an internal Network OS problem or file corruption.

Recommended Action: Reload or power cycle the switch.

FABS-1005

Message: <Function name and description of problem> (<ID type>= <ID number>).

Message Type: LOG

Severity: WARNING

Probable Cause: Indicates that an unsupported operation has been requested. This is usually an internal Network OS problem or file corruption. The following is the possible value for the Function name and description of problem variable:

fabsys_write: Unsupported write operation: process xxx

The xxx value is the process ID (PID), which could be any whole number.

Recommended Action: Reload or power cycle the active management module (for modular systems) or the switch (for compact systems).

If the message persists, execute the firmware download command to update the firmware.

FABS-1006

Message: <Function name and description of problem> object <object type id> unit <slot>.

Message Type: LOG

Severity: WARNING

Probable Cause: Indicates that there is no device in the slot with the specified object type ID in the system module record. This could indicate a serious Network OS data problem on the switch. The following are the possible values for the function name and description of problem variable:
  • setSoftState: bad object
  • setSoftState: invalid type or unit
  • media_sync: Media oid mapping failed
  • fabsys_media_i2c_op: Media oid mapping failed
  • fabsys_media_i2c_op: obj is not media type
  • media_class_hndlr: failed sending media state to blade driver

Recommended Action: If the message is isolated, monitor the error messages on the switch. If the error is repetitive or if the fabric failed, fail over or reload the switch.

If the message persists, execute the firmware download command to update the firmware.

FABS-1007

Message: <Function name>: Media state is invalid - status=<Status value>.

Message Type: LOG

Severity: WARNING

Probable Cause: Indicates that the Network OS has detected an invalid value in an object status field. This is usually an internal Network OS problem or file corruption.

Recommended Action: Reload or power cycle the switch.

If the message persists, execute the firmware download command to update the firmware.

FABS-1008

Message: <Function name>: Media OID mapping failed.

Message Type: LOG

Severity: WARNING

Probable Cause: Indicates that the Network OS was unable to locate a necessary object handle. This is usually an internal Network OS problem or file corruption.

Recommended Action: Reload or power cycle the switch.

FABS-1009

Message: <Function name>: type is not media.

Message Type: LOG

Severity: WARNING

Probable Cause: Indicates that the Network OS was unable to locate an appropriate object handle. This is usually an internal Network OS problem or file corruption.

Recommended Action: Reload or power cycle the switch.

FABS-1010

Message: <Function name>: Wrong media_event <Event number>.

Message Type: LOG

Severity: WARNING

Probable Cause: Indicates that the Network OS detected an unknown event type. This is usually an internal Network OS problem or file corruption

Recommended Action: Reload or power cycle the switch.

If the message persists, execute the firmware download command to update the firmware.

FABS-1011

Message: <Method name>[<Method tag number>]:Invalid input state 0x<Input state code>.

Message Type: LOG

Severity: ERROR

Probable Cause: Indicates that an unrecognized state code was used in an internal Network OS message for a field-replaceable unit (FRU).

Recommended Action: Reload or power cycle the management module or switch.

If the message persists, execute the <cmd>firmware download</cmd> command to update the firmware.

FABS-1013

Message: <Method name>[<Method tag number>]:Unknown interface module type 0x<Interface module type>.

Message Type: LOG

Severity: ERROR

Probable Cause: Indicates that an unrecognized type of interface module has been discovered in the system.

Recommended Action: This error can be caused by one of the following reasons: an incorrect field-replaceable unit (FRU) header, inability to read the FRU header, or the interface module may not be supported by this platform or Network OS version.

Verify that the interface module is valid for use in this system and this version of Network OS.

Reseat the interface module.

If this is a valid interface module and reseating does not solve the problem, replace the interface module.

FABS-1014

Message: <Method name>[<Method tag number>]:Unknown FRU type 0x<FRU Object type>.

Message Type: LOG

Severity: ERROR

Probable Cause: Indicates that an unrecognized type of field-replaceable unit (FRU) has been discovered in the system.

Recommended Action: This error can be caused by one of the following reasons: an incorrect FRU header, inability to read the FRU header, or the FRU may not be supported by this platform or Network OS version.

Verify that the FRU is valid for use in this system and this version of Network OS.

Reseat the FRU.

If this is a valid FRU and reseating does not solve the problem, replace the FRU.

FABS-1015

Message: <Method name>[<Method tag number>]:Request to enable FRU type 0x<Arg>FRU Object type>, unit <Unit number> failed. err code <Error code>.

Message Type: LOG

Severity: ERROR

Probable Cause: Indicates that the specified field-replaceable unit (FRU) could not be enabled. This is usually an internal Network OS problem.

Recommended Action: Remove and reinsert the FRU.

Reload or power cycle the management module or switch.

If the message persists, execute the firmware download command to update the firmware.
