Summary

Warning Event 163.

Causes

The host WWNs (node and port) previously presented by the partner controller module, which is currently offline, are unknown. This event has two possible causes:

The online controller module reporting the event was replaced or moved while the system was powered off.
The online controller module had its flash configuration (where previously used WWNs are stored) cleared.

The online controller module recovers from this situation by generating a WWN based on its own serial number for the other controller module.

Resolutions

If the controller was replaced or someone reprogrammed its FRU ID data, verify the WWN information for the other controller module on all hosts that access it.
