Simon,
A transient error would have me concerned. I would recommend viewing
the contents of the /var/adm/SPlogs/css/out.top file; in here you'll be able
to obtain a more reasonable explanation of whether the transient error is
normal. Also, I would check /var/adm/SPlogs/css/cable_miswire (hopefully it
doesn't exist!) on the primary node.
Sample out.top file:
S 15 2 tb3 1 0 E01-S17-BH-J8 to E01-N10 -4 R:
device has been removed from network - faulty
(link has been removed from network - fenced)
The -4 error code is normal for a fence operation.
Explanation: The link is not operational and was removed from the
switch network.
Cause: Either the link is miswired or the link has failed.
Action: First check the /var/adm/SPlogs/css[0 | 1]/p0 directory for
the existence of a cable_miswire file. If the file exists, verify and
correct all links listed in the file. Then issue the Estart command.
If the cable_miswire file does not exist, examine the
/var/adm/SPlogs/css[0 | 1]/p0/flt file for entries relating to this link. If
entries are found, verify that the cable is seated at both ends, then run
the Estart command. If the problem persists, contact the IBM Support Center.

My main interest is not - yet - figuring out what this means, but simply if
it's normal when you fence a node.
Here's the detailed error report, anyway.
