On Friday we rebooted a server and it did not get it's drives back. The port shows up as red in DM. The only way to get the prot active was to reboot the SAN switch, then it worked fine. Today a different sever was rebooted and the same symptom happened. There are no errors or core dumps and no errors on the port. Any ideas on what the problem is or how ti find what is causing the failure. Other than that failed port all other servers are working fine. The switch is a 9120 running ver.m9100-s1ek9-mz.2.0.1b.bin. The only error I see is
2007 Feb 27 19:54:17 ACFCSW1 %KERN-2-SYSTEM_MSG: Virtual device eth2 as ks to queue packet! Any helpd would be great.

My guess is there is an sfp problem. Or communication between the backplane and the SFP.
The virtual device asking to queue packet is a linux kernel message. It has to do with the kernel thinking an interface is up, while it is physically in a down state.
My recommendation is to try swapping the sfp out. This should cause the backplane to notice a new SFP and re-initialize itself.
To confirm this you should get more information about the port. You can follow the steps below to accomplish this.
If you mouse over the port in device manager it should tell you why the port is down.
you can also execute
sho port internal event-history interface fc 1/1
substitute 1/1 for your port number. And post the results here .
That will help a bit in troubleshooting the problem.
If this is helpful please remember to give this a score.

It is more than likely a RMA situation. Call OSM or Cisco TAC and get RMA.

We RMA'd the switch last night and all is well. Thanks for all your help. This forum was more helpful than EMC support was in resolution to our problem.
