Lockup conditions are solved while trunking in Fibre Channel switched arbitrated loop systems. Within a particular switch, a particular combination of pending OPN conditions is detected, indicating a lockup condition. At least one of the detected pending OPN conditions is closed, which alleviates the lockup condition.
