Description

The XFP optical transceiver is broken or missing.

Automated Response

The device instance will be disabled.

Impact

Loss of services provided by the device instances associated with this fault.

Details

The Message ID: NXGE-8000-0Uindicates a problem in an XFP optical transceiver.

This optical tranceiver may be installed in one of two ways:

1) The transceiver may be plugged into a XAUI which provides a 10G connection for the network interface unit (NIU) embedded inside the CPU chip.

or

2) It may be plugged into a PCI-Express 10G fiber network interface card (NIC).

For either method of installation, verify that the transceiver is properly installed. If it is found to be loose or improperly inserted please re-seat it. Once it has been re-seated please run the following commands to verify the problem has been resolved.

Run fmadm faulty to determine the existing fault(s),

Step 1: Collect the fault message.

A fault message is displayed to the system console and logged in the /var/logs/message file and should be collected. An example of what that message looks like is below.

Example:
LEGEND:
RED = SUNW-MSG-ID
BLUE = EVENT_ID
GREEN = FRU

SUNW-MSG-ID: 
NXGE-8000-0U
, TYPE: Fault, VER: 1, SEVERITY: Critical
    EVENT-TIME: Mon Sep 10 15:49:39 PDT 2007
    PLATFORM: SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200, CSN: -, HOSTNAME: nsn56-120
    SOURCE: eft, REV: 1.16
    EVENT-ID: 
52b4acd8-4a14-6e29-c055-f9962d163d1f
    DESC: The XFP optical transceiver is broken or missing.
      Refer to http://sun.com/msg/
NXGE-8000-0U
 for more information.
    AUTO-RESPONSE: The device instance will be disabled.
    IMPACT: Loss of services provided by the device instances
    associated with this fault.
    REC-ACTION: Check and make sure that the XFP optical transceiver
    is properly installed. If problem persists, schedule a repair
    procedure to replace the affected device, which can be determined
    using fmdump -v -u 
Step 2:Collect the "fmdump" output.

Use the fmdump command with the Event-ID option to retrieve more information on the fault which has occurred.

Example:

 

fmdump -v -u
