FW-1163
Probable
Indicates that the number of link failures that the port experiences has risen above the high boundary.
Cause
Link loss errors occur when a link experiences a loss of signal and fails. Both physical and hardware
problems can cause link loss errors. Link loss errors frequently occur due to a loss of synchronization.
Check for concurrent loss of synchronization errors and, if applicable, troubleshoot them.
Recommended Check both ends of your cable connection. Verify that the cable and SFPs are not faulty.
Action
Losses of synchronization commonly cause link failures. If you receive concurrent loss of
synchronization errors, troubleshoot the loss of synchronization.

Cause synchronization errors frequently occur due to a faulty SFP or cable. Signal losses often create
synchronization losses.

Action
If you continue to experience synchronization loss errors, troubleshoot your HBA and contact your
switch service provider.
