Symptoms

When Dell PowerStore encounters an issue, an error alert is generated to help identify the issue. This article explains the different possible causes and the relevant solutions for these error alerts. If your issue is not resolved despite the solution that is provided, check the technical support contact options.

Cause

Causes for the respective alerts are explained in the table below.

Resolution

 
Alert ID ONV_TOR_CONNECTION_STATUS_FAILED_TO_CONNECT
Alert Text Unable to connect to the switch with management IP address %(address) using the specified access credentials.
Error Code (0x01803503)
Description Connection to the Ethernet switch with management IP address failed. Switch configuration validation may be limited.
Resolution Cause
This issue occurs when connectivity to the switch using the management IP address fails or if the system is unable to read the switch configuration information.

Solution
Verify the status of connectivity with the Ethernet switch and the credentials that are used to access the switch.

If the issue persists, contact Technical Support for further assistance.
 
Note: Different switch vendors may have different permissions for different predefined roles. For example for Dell OS10 switches, the netoperator role is not enough to read running-configuration info.

 
Alert ID ONV_TOR_ICL_STATUS_NOT_CONFIGURED
Alert Text An inter-chassis link (ICL) is not configured on the switch.
Error Code (0x01803602)  
Description This occurs when the inter-chassis link (ICL) is not configured on the switch. As a result, Network high availability may be impacted and performance degraded.
Resolution Cause
This issue occurs when an inter-chassis link (ICL) is not configured on the switch or if the system is unable to read the switch configuration information.

Solution
Verify the status of Ethernet switch inter-chassis link configuration. Ensure that an Inter-Chassis link is configured on the switch.

See the Switch and Network Configuration Guide for PowerStore in PowerStore: Info Hub - Product Documentation and Videos for additional information
This alert may be raised incorrectly if only SNMP is being used to connect to the switch.
 
Note: Different switch vendors may have different permissions for different predefined roles. For example for Dell OS10 switches, the netoperator role is not enough to read running-configuration info.


Contact Technical Support for further assistance.

 
Alert ID ONV_TOR_ICL_PEER_PRESENCE_NOT_FOUND
Alert Text Detected inconsistent Inter-Chassis link configuration (physical switch has no Inter-Chassis link peer).
Error Code (0x01803802)
Description This alert is raised when inconsistency was detected in Inter-Chassis link configuration. Network high availability or performance may be degraded.
Resolution Cause
This issue occurs when an inconsistency was detected in the Inter-Chassis link (ICL) or no ICL peer was detected.

Solution
Ensure that an Inter-Chassis link is properly configured between the pair of switches. See the Networking Guide for PowerStore in PowerStore: Info Hub - Product Documentation and Videos additional information

If the issue persists, contact Technical Support for further assistance.

 
Alert ID ONV_TOR_ICL_PEER_STATUS_NOT_FOUND
Alert Text The switch does not have connectivity to the peer switch %(physical_switch_id) using an inter-chassis link (ICL).
Error Code (0x01803903)
Description There is no connectivity between Switch and Peer Switch %(physical_switch_id) using ICL and as a result, Network high availability, or performance may be degraded.
Resolution Cause
This issue occurs when connectivity between Switch and Peer Switch %(physical_switch_id) using ICL is missing.

Solution
Ensure that an Inter-Chassis link is properly configured between the pair of switches.

See the Networking Guide for PowerStore in PowerStore: Info Hub - Product Documentation and Videos for additional information

If the issue persists, contact Technical Support for further assistance.

 
Alert ID ONV_TOR_ICL_PROTOCOL_STATUS_FAILURE
Alert Text The switch has inter-chassis link (ICL) protocol errors.
Error Code (0x01803A03)
Description Switch has ICL protocol errors and Network high availability, or performance may be degraded.
Resolution Cause
This issue occurs when a switch has ICL protocol errors and is not properly configured between the switches.

Solution
Ensure that an inter-chassis link (ICL) is properly configured between the switches.

If the issue persists, contact Technical Support for further assistance.
