Icon Turns Red Or Status Word Changes - Compaq Armada 6500 Hardware And Software Manual

If this is not the first time discovery has been requested and an IP
address currently being used has been recognized previously, the
physical connection may be at fault. Verify that the connection to the
device can be established by pinging the device from the management
console. If you do not get a response, the physical cabling may have
been disconnected and should be reestablished. Retry discovery.
If there are a large number of managed devices on your Fibre Channel
network, the network can be timing out. The timeout duration is a
function of HMUs Timeout and Retries which can be set for a device.
The default timeout is 20 seconds, which should be enough, but if the
Retry/Timeout parameters were previously changed, they might be too
short. Reset these parameters back to 20 seconds if they have been
decreased. If that does not fix the problem, contact Customer Service.

needed.
