AIX support of RPD probe on Brocade switches

Connected to Brocade G620 16G fibre switch

According to IBM: We are getting the following: "The FCA_ERR6 with sense data of 0x68A indicated that we are receiving
unrecognized ELS from the fabric with N_Port IDs of FFFC36 and FFFC40.
This message is related to RDP (Read Diagnostic Parameters) ELS. RDP ELS
requests the switch to send diagnostic parameters associated with the
N_Port ID specified in the payload. But the switch seems to have an
issue with this and so it instead sends an unknown or unrecognized
unsolicited ELS."
