Monitoring and Managing the Switch

Port Diagnostics

Click this option to display the Port Diagnostics dialog box. Use this dialog box
to run an internal loopback and external loopback test on the port. The Port
Diagnostics option enables you to run internal and external loopback tests on any
port. To use this option, follow the detailed steps in the HP StorageWorks Edge
Switch 2/24 Service Manual.

Clear Link Incident Alert(s)

Click this option to clear the attention indicator on the Hardware View, the Port
List View, and the Performance View. In addition, the procedure clears the alert
description in Port Properties dialog boxes. If there are no link incident alerts set
for a port, no actions occur. Although you can manually clear link incidents, they
may also be cleared by actions outside of the user interface, such as when
rebooting the HAFM server.

Reset Port

Click this option to display a confirmation dialog box. Click Yes on that dialog
box to reset the port. If a switch is attached to the port and online, this operation
sends a link reset to the attached switch, otherwise this action disables port
beaconing for the port. If the port is in a failed state, such as after failing a
loopback test, the reset restores the port to an operational state, clearing the
service required (amber) LED. The reset does not affect other ports in the switch.

Port Binding

Click this option to display the Port Binding dialog box
dialog box to allow a device with a specific WWN or nickname to have exclusive
connection to a port. To use this dialog box, refer to the following paragraphs.
