Status Bar Indicator; Monitoring Hardware Operation - HP StorageWorks 2/140 - Director Switch Product Manager Manual

Monitoring and Managing the Director
• Duplicate Session—A link has previously been established between the director
and another instance of the HAFM server. Connect to the previously established
server from the HAFM login dialog box.
• Unknown Network Address—The address defined for the director in the HAFM
application could not be found in the domain name server (DNS). Either the name
was mistyped when the director was added to the HAFM application, or the name
was not available from the DNS. Check the network IP address for the director
definition in the HAFM application when you right-click the product icon and
choose Properties. The IP address displays in the Network Address field.
• Incorrect Product Type—The product at the configured network address is not a
director. Verify address, configuration, and product type.

Status Bar Indicator

The status bar displays a colored status symbol that indicates the overall operating
status of the director unit. The operating status depends on hardware component
failures, which are indicated by status symbols that display over component graphics
in the Hardware View. Refer to
symbols in the status bar.
The status bar indicates the director operating status based on component failures. For
example, for a single port failure, a blinking red and yellow diamond displays on the
port connector in the Hardware View. At the same time, a yellow triangle displays in
the status bar to indicate a degraded director. However, if a blinking red and yellow
diamond displays over both fan modules, the status bar displays a red and yellow
diamond, indicating a failure that requires immediate attention.

Monitoring Hardware Operation

Determine hardware component operating status and states by the simulated LED
indicators and status symbols that display on port cards, CTP cards, power supplies,
fan modules, and SBAR cards illustrated in the Hardware View.
• Green and amber indicators illuminate on each FRU to indicate either an
operational or degraded state respectively. LEDs for individual ports do not
illuminate on port cards in the Hardware View, but do illuminate in the Port
Card View for each port (refer to
• Alert symbols, such as flashing red and yellow diamonds and yellow triangles,
display on FRUs to reflect the overall state of the hardware as changes occur.
• Corresponding or additional descriptions of hardware status and states also
display when you click on components to display Properties dialog boxes.
