[f-nsp] odd error on RX-4 "Warning: Backplane EEPROM "chassis-type"is 0xac which is incorrect. Please correct it"

[Brashear, Jonathan]

If the device is still under a service contract, open a TAC ticket.  It sounds to me like the firmware thinks it's a different chassis than it is, which can be corrected by a Brocade TAC engineer.

Pulling a spare RX-4 chassis out for some testing, and it seems to run just fine, but on boot it sais:

 

"INFO: RX-4 backplane is detected.

my_slot = 32

get_mac_and_arbitration_delay: no peer (present_reg = 1efffd)

INFO: RX-4 backplane is detected.

Warning: Backplane EEPROM "chassis-type" is 0xac which is incorrect. Please corr

ect it."

 

The last line is what's concerning.

I don't know if this is possibly due to an older chassis with newer cards?  Hesitant to ok this unit

for production with an error of unknown, but probably innocuous consequences.

Comments??
