Cause

• Failed Criteria 128 is driver reporting a link state down.
• This can be caused by unplugging the network cable or administratively downing the physical switchport.

 

Resolution

1. Reseat the network cable.
2. Review driver firmware, SFP+ module, cable, and/or switchport of the physical switch.
3. Contact the host hardware vendor for further troubleshooting if Failed criteria 128's continue to be seen in the vobd log.
