Connectrix B-Series: Device Logging In as a Loopback

An HBA or storage device automatically configures as a loopback port on a Connectrix B-Series switch.

This could be caused by the controller configuration on the HBA or storage device.

Check whether the end device is configured for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL). Also check the integrity of the SFP and cable. Then reset the port as follows:

• portcfgpersistentdisable
• portcfgdefault
• portcfgpersistentenable

If the status of the port is still loopback after performing the above, move the cable to a free port. If the issue follows the cable, it is likely an issue with the connected device. Further troubleshooting must be performed at that end.
