PID>.
Message Type
LOG
Severity
WARNING
Probable Cause
Indicates that an existing device has the same World Wide Name (WWN) as a new device that has come
online.
Recommended
Action
The switch will process the new process ID (PID) and leave the existing PID intact. Subsequent switch
operations will clean up the obsolete PID. However, administrators can check and remove devices with a
duplicated WWN.

Advisor (BNA) will not show the port connectivity.
Recommended
Action
Check the device that logged in. The device could be misbehaving.
