    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unlicensed Brocade FC Ports are shown   *

    According to SMIS 1.5 specification the Consolidate Status
    should be Ok ,resulting from OperationalStatus=Stopped and
    EnabledState=Diabled
    

Problem conclusion

  • The unlicensed ports will be displayed according to the SMI-S
    1.5 specification, which will allow them to report as Ok and
    not a warning state.  The fix for this APAR is targeted for
    the following maintenance packages:
    
    | fix pack | 4.1.1-TIV-TPC-FP0005 - target October 2010
    | fix pack | 3.3.2-TIV-TPC-FP0010 - target to be determined

    The target dates for future fix packs do not represent a formal
    commitment by IBM. The dates are subject to change without
