4. Run portLoopbackTest on the marginal port. You need an adapter to run the loopback test for

a different port on the switch. Reseating of SFPs may also cure marginal port problems.
If the problem stops or goes away, the switch port or the SFP is marginal (proceed to
If the problem does not stop or go away, see
the SFP. Otherwise, run the test on the marginal port using the loopback mode lb=5. Use the
different modes shown in
for additional information on this command.
•
If the loopback test failed, the port is bad. Replace the port blade or switch.
•
If the loopback test did not fail, the SFP was bad.
Perform the following steps to rule out cabling issues:
a. Insert a new cable in the suspected marginal port.
b. Enter the portErrShow command to determine if a problem still exists.
•
If the portErrShow output displays a normal number of generated errors, the issue is
solved.
•
If the portErrShow output still displays a high number of generated errors, follow the
troubleshooting procedures for the Host or Storage device in the following section,
"Device login issues".
