Front panel display
The front panel display shows service, configuration, and navigation information.
Information on the front panel display is available in several national languages.
The display can show both alphanumeric information and graphical information
(progress bars).
The front panel displays configuration and service information about the SAN
Volume Controller and the SAN Volume Controller cluster including the following
items:
v Hardware boot
v Node rescue request
v Boot progress
v Boot failed
v Powering off
v Restarting
v Shutting down
v Power failure
v Error codes
Node identification label
The node identification label on the front panel displays a six-digit node
identification number.
The node identification label is the same as the six-digit number used in the
addnode command. It is readable by system software and is used by configuration
and service software as a node identifier. The node identifier can also be displayed
on the front panel display when node is selected from the menu.
If the front panel is replaced, the configuration and service software displays the
number that is printed on the front of the replacement panel. Future error reports
will also contain the new number. No cluster reconfiguration is necessary when the
front panel is replaced.
The node also contains a SAN Volume Controller product serial number that is
imbedded on the system board hardware. This number is used for warranty and
service entitlement checking and is included in the data sent with error reports. It is
essential that this number is not changed during the life of the product. If the
system board is replaced, you must follow the system board replacement
instructions carefully and rewrite the serial number on the system board.
