FusionMPT Messages

Hi everyone,

We are seeing "FusionMPT" messages in the system log of our MetaData controller and I'd like to understand if they are normal or not.

Whenever a Xsan client starts up or shuts down, we see these messages in the log (not errors, just messages):

May 31 08:48:03 user-85-201-62-25 kernel[0]: FusionMPT: Notification = 9 (Logout) for SCSI Domain = 1
May 31 08:48:03 user-85-201-62-25 kernel[0]: FusionMPT: Notification = 9 (Logout) for SCSI Domain = 0
May 31 08:48:03 user-85-201-62-25 kernel[0]: FusionMPT: Notification = 6 (Rescan) for SCSI Domain = 1
May 31 08:48:03 user-85-201-62-25 kernel[0]: FusionMPT: Notification = 6 (Rescan) for SCSI Domain = 0

I'd like to know if these messages are normal or the indication of an incorrect FC behaviour.

Thanks for any clue,

PowerBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

That is normal, nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the tip. In the meantime, I reconfigured the QLogic Switch to enable stream guard on the initiator (CPU) ports and the messages do not appear anymore.

So I guess it is the message sent by each card to the fabric when it boots up or shuts down and stream guard is not enabled.

Thanks again!
