10 Second-Generation Channel Interface Processor (CIP2) Installation and Configuration
CIP2 Installation Prerequisites
If the installed ECA is the earlier ECA, then hw version 01 (or hw version 00) is displayed, as
shown following:
(additional text omitted from this example)
—> ECA0: hw version 01, microcode version C50602C3
Note If you determine that you have the latest ECA (and hw version 02 is displayed), you must
observe and comply with the ESCON channel adapter software and microcode prerequisites; refer
Table 2 and the section “ESCON Channel Adapter Software, Hardware, and Microcode
Prerequisites.”
If you determine that you have the earlier ECA (hw version 00 or hw version 01 is displayed), no
further action is required.
If you see the following error messages displayed, this indicates that you must upgrade the
Cisco IOS software and CIP2 microcode by observing and complying with the ESCON channel
adapter Cisco IOS software and microcode prerequisites; refer to Table 2 and the section “ESCON
Channel Adapter Software, Hardware, and Microcode Prerequisites.”
%CIP2-0-MSG: %ADAPTER-0-DIAGFAIL: Port 0 failed the I/O chip tests diagnostic
%CIP2-0-MSG: %ADAPTER-0-DIAGDATA: Module Call: 123 Error ID: FF85
If you see the following error messages, your Cisco IOS software and CIP2 microcode support the
latest ECA installed in your system:
%CIP2-0-MSG: %ADAPTER-0-DIAGFAIL: Port 0 failed the Electrical wrap diagnostic
%CIP2-0-MSG: %ADAPTER-0-DIAGDATA: Module Call: 1221 Error ID: FE14
Note Running CIP2 microcode versions earlier than cip21-11 and cip22-12 with the latest ECA,
will always result in error messages. Running CIP2 microcode versions earlier than cip21-14 and
cip22-15 with the latest ECA, might result in error messages.
