Troubleshooting Ficon Npiv - Brocade Communications Systems A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Troubleshooting Manual

active.
Probable cause and recommended action
RNID processing enhancement in firmware.
The following message will appear in the switches log:
2007/05/13-07:06:56, [KSWD-1003], 78412/24993, FFDC, WARNING, SilkWorm24000,

This problem occurred due to the RNID-processing enhancement in the Fabric OS code. The
mainframe configuration was sending out a lot of RNIDs to the switch and it could not process all of
them in a timely manner.
To fix this issue upgrade to v5.2.2 or v5.3.0.
