Cause

This message Indicates a registered link incident record (RLIR) is generated for one of the actions indicated by the message value.

The message value can be one of the following:
  • Exceeded bit error-rate threshold
  • Loss of signal or synchronization
  • Not operational sequence recognized  
  • Primitive sequence timeout
  • Unrecognized link incident

Resolution

Persistent RLIR incidents are likely the result of SAN hardware issues such as bad cables or small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers. If the message persists, replace the fiber-optic connector (FC) Cable.
