I have this alert on my AX4-5F8. I can't seem to get rid of it, and it makes the "Attention Required" constantly appear on the system. However, there is not any "problem". I have my SAN setup in full mesh, so for example a server has two dual-port HBA's. One port of HBA1 goes to Brocade1, the other port goes to Brocade2. And the same for the other dual-port HBA - one port of HBA2 goes to Brocade1, the other goes to Brocade2. And I have to multiple SP ports going to each switch. So obviously not every HBA port is going to be connected to every SP port. But every server has multiple paths to the storage array so an HBA can fail, a Brocade can fail, an SP can fail....and it all remains up. Anyway, I need to get rid of (or somehow "accept") this alert so that the storage doesn't constantly reflect a state of warning. In the connection info, it displays the server, the HBA port with WWN, and then the list of SP/Port Status has some Active and some Inactive.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I would recommend to upgrade the FLARE to 02.23.050.5.711 and see if you are receiving the same alert.
This is a benign alert. It is fixed in FLARE Release 23 in one of the patches. You may upgrade the array to latest 02.23.050.5.711 version if its not.
Could you please, share what is the Current FLARE Version on the array?
02.23.050.5.709
Oh, and I realize it is benign - but I just need the array to not show as being in a warning status (it makes management upset, and I have to explain it all the time).
I would recommend to upgrade the FLARE to 02.23.050.5.711 and see if you are receiving the same alert.
That did it - thanks!
Great! Enjoy your week ahead!
Can you please advise where i can download the FLARE 2.23.050.5.711 software upgrade

If you have a current support contract for it, you can download it from https://support.emc.com/downloads/7838_CLARiiON-AX4-Series
If it appears with a big padlock, you'll need to submit a "Software Download Access Request Form".
You can also try checking with clariion support assistance with the upgrade.
