Issue

ASUP generates a case for a failed host interface card in Controller A. Investigation of the logs shows the system is optimal. Further review shows Controller A port 2's link went down and never came back up. The user confirmed the cable was still connected to the port.

In the DQ, the FC driver reports a fatal error:
