lots of er_bad_os and still increasing

HI All , We got Brocade B5100  and we have Tape library . All the tape drive ports supports 8G and my other device which communicated with them are 4G.

I see tons of er_bad_os on all tape library ports and other ports as well. As per emc primus emc228910 its issue with 8G devices and then given below solution.

I applied it . All were looking good for some time but after few days i am encountering same errors again. My backup running slow , i believe this is causing it.

I applied another workaround . As this is issue with 8G devices , i set all 8G drive ports to 4G . But still no luck.

Also i am getting may er_enc_out because this.

Any help appreciated. I logged a case with EMC but they gave me same primus.

Issue portcfgfillword command against port where 8Gb device is to be attached.

In FOS 6.3.1 and above there are now the following options when using the portcfgfillword CLI command:

0 | -idle-idle Sets IDLE mode in the Link Init and IDLE as the fill word (default).

1 | -arbff-arbff Sets ARB(ff) in the Link Init and ARB(ff) as the fill word.

2 | -idlef-arbff Sets IDLE mode in the Link Init and ARB(ff) as the fill word.

3 | -aa-then-ia Attempts hardware arbff-arbff (mode 1) first. If the attempt fails to go into active state, this command executes software idle-arb (mode 2). Mode 3 is the preferable to modes 1 and 2 as it captures more cases..
