Message

RCS process fails: <reason code>.

Message Type

LOG

Severity

ERROR

Probable Cause

Indicates that the reliable commit service (RCS) process failed to complete. RCS is a mechanism for
transferring data from one switch to other switches within the fabric. RCS ensures that either all or none
of the switches commit to the database. RCS can fail if one switch in the fabric is busy or in an error state
that prevents it from accepting the database.

Recommended

Action

RCS is evoked when the security database is modified by a security command (for example,
secPolicySave, secPolicyActivate, or distribute). If the switch is busy, the command may fail the first
time. Retry the command.

Run the rcsInfoShow command to view RCS capability on the fabric. RCS must be capable on all
switches in the fabric to be enabled. If all switches are capable, it is automatically enabled.

If the message persists, execute the supportFtp command (as needed) to set up automatic FTP
transfers; then execute the supportSave command and contact your switch service provider.

SEC-1002

Message

Security data fails: <Reason Text>.

Message Type

LOG

Severity

ERROR

Probable Cause

Indicates that the receiving switch fails to validate the security database sent from the primary fabric
configuration server (FCS) switch. This may be caused by several factors: the data package may be
corrupted, the time stamp on the package may be out of range as a result of replay attack or out-of-sync
time service, or the signature verification failed. Signature verification failure may result from an internal
error, such as losing the primary public key or an invalid database.

Recommended

Action

Run the secFabricShow command to verify that the fabric is still consistent. All the switches should be in
the ready state. If a switch is in the error state, the database may not be correctly updated for that switch.
The error may also be a result of an internal corruption or a hacker attack to the secure fabric. If you have
reason to believe that the error is the result of a possible security breach, take appropriate action as
defined by your enterprise security policy.
