QoS state is "Unknown" instead of "Online" and total BB-Credits is "zero," licenses may not be
installed. Verify if licenses are installed by executing the Fabric OS licenseshow command on
the switch. Install licenses as required.
For more information about Fabric OS commands and QoS support, refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide.
Action: Verify if QoS is enabled for an adapter port using the qos -query <port_id> BCU
command. Verify if it is enabled on the switch using the islShow command.
Action: Verify zones on the switch using the Fabric OS cfgActvShow command.
