Issue/Introduction
We recently manually modeled a number of connections, and some of these ended up as "black" pipes to some Containers. Within the Container we see proper yellow or green pipe connections. The black pipes only exist on Universe Topology.
Environment
Spectrum Core / SpectroSERVER: any supported release
Cause
The connections are most likely correct.
Black pipes happen every now and again if Spectrum intelligence doesn’t calculate the peer link properly.
Resolution
Save the SSdb
Run the CLEANUP_ALL_CONTAINERS_LINK_LIST = 0x10900 in VNMSH CLI
update action=0x10900 mh=<VNM_MH>
If the action code doesn’t work, try cutting all models in the container, then paste them back in.
