• Reason — When the port operating state is Segmented E_Port, Invalid
Attachment, or Inactive, this field displays the reason for that state. When an
E_Port is segmented, two fabrics are prevented from joining. This only occurs
when the switch is connected to another switch. Reasons and probable causes are
as follows:
— If Operational State is Segmented E Port:
— Segment Not Defined
— Incompatible Operating Parameters
— Duplicate Domain ID(s)
— Incompatible Zoning Configurations
— Build Fabric Protocol Error
— No Principal Switch
— No Response from Attached Switch
— ELP Retransmission Failure Timeout
— If Operational State is Invalid Attachment:
— Unknown
— ISL connection not allowed on this port
— ELP rejected by the attached switch
— Incompatible switch at other end of the ISL
— External loopback adapter connected to the port
— N_Port connection not allowed on this port
— Non-HP high availability fabric switch or compatible switch at other end
— ISL connection not allowed to external Fabrics
— Port binding violation — unauthorized WWN
