**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: TPC 3.3.2, 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 users * * monitoring Brocade * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unlicensed Brocade FC Ports are shown * * with warning in TPC Topology, thus * * making the switches to which they * * belong to be in warning also(assuming * * this is the only warning reason there * * is). Unlicensed ports should not * * cause a warning that may mask other * * conditions creating a valid warning * * state. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** According to SMIS 1.5 specification the Consolidate Status should be Ok ,resulting from OperationalStatus=Stopped and EnabledState=Diabled
