Any ideas?
GWIB01 [proxy-ha-group: master] (config) #* show phy-profile high-speed-ber
*
Profile: high-speed-ber
--------
llr support ib-speed
SDR: disable
DDR: disable
QDR: disable
FDR10: enable-request
FDR: enable-request
GWIB01 [proxy-ha-group: master] (config) # *show phy-profile hp-encl-isl*
Profile: *hp-encl-isl *
--------
llr support ib-speed
SDR: disable
DDR: disable
* QDR: enable*
FDR10: enable-request
FDR: enable-request
GWIB01 [proxy-ha-group: master] (config) #
GWIB01 [proxy-ha-group: master] (config) # interface ib 1/9 phy-profile map
hp-encl-isl
% Cannot map profile hp-encl-isl to port: 1/9
