Device Type:
Device Qualifier: Fibre
-----------------------------------------------------------
Severity Level: Error
1Bolt Value:
Error 17: The Fibre Channel Driver received a LINK DOWN interrupt.
Possible Causes/Recommended Actions:
It is possible for link down errors to occur under normal operation.
No action is required. The system will recover.

Diagnose Tool
The Diagnose Tool runs a loopback test on a Fibre Channel adapter. This test is destructive
and must only be run by qualified personnel or on instruction from an HP Support
Representative.
NOTE:
STM also includes a Firmware Update tool. This tool cannot be used to update the
firmware on Fibre Channel adapters.
Event Monitoring Service
Event Monitoring Service (EMS) notifies you when an event occurs on the system.
A hardware event monitor monitors the hardware for unusual behavior (known as an event)
and sends a message to the EMS, which notifies you of the event and provides suggestions for
correcting the problem. This service is available for all of the Fibre Channel host bus adapters.
Fibre Channel Adapter Monitor
The Fibre Channel Adapter Monitor monitors the operation of all supported fibre channel host
bus adapter cards on your system. If the monitor detects a problem with any of the adapters, it
immediately sends an event to EMS, which alerts you using the notification methods defined
for the monitor. Error messages identify the problem, its cause, and corrective actions.
The Fibre Channel Adapter Monitor employs asynchronous event detection. The monitor
continuously checks for any errors or abnormal behavior reported by the device driver during
I/O operations. If an error occurs, it passes directly to the monitor for immediate analysis. If the
error warrants notification, the monitor immediately generates an event.
The monitor launches automatically when the system starts, ensuring protection for all supported
Fibre Channel adapters from undetected hardware failure.
