Symptoms

This is a Brocade 48000 switch with FOS 6.4.2a and they have configured some ports for FCIP (IP over FC).

With no apparent reason, starting on 26 May, we can see every day informational messages like this on the VE ports:

Cause

From "Fabric OS Message Reference 53-1001767-01" page 475 :

-----------------------------
PORT-1010
Message
, [PORT-1010], ,, WARNING, , Port (ID:) QOS is disabled.

Probable Cause
The Port QOS is disabled because the port currently has Best Effort Setting that requires QOS to be
disabled on a 4G or 8G long distance platform.

Recommended Action
This is normal; no action required.

Severity WARNING
-----------------------------

On the supportsave of Brocade 48000 switch switch01,
I can see you are using four Gigabit Ethernet ports as extender ports (VE)
to connect to the other switches of the fabric via FCIP

VE_Port: Virtual E_Port is used to connect two FCFs together and is the FCoE equivalent of a Fibre Channel E_Port.

Solution

If QOS is disabled on the configuration,  the QOS messages can be ignored.

From "Fabric OS Message Reference 53-1001767-01" page 475 :

-----------------------------
PORT-1010
Message
, [PORT-1010], ,, WARNING, , Port (ID:) QOS is disabled.

Probable Cause
The Port QOS is disabled because the port currently has Best Effort Setting that requires QOS to be
disabled on a 4G or 8G long distance platform.

Recommended Action
This is normal; no action required.

Severity WARNING
-----------------------------

If QOS is not disabled, collect a supportsave of the switch and contact with Oracle support.
