Error-detection, reporting, and serviceability features

SAN32M-2 Installation and Service Manual
The switch provides the following error detection, reporting, and
serviceability features:
•
LEDs on switch CRUs and adjacent to Fibre Channel ports that
provide visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.
•
Redundant CRUs and FRUs (SFP transceivers and integrated
cooling fan and power supply assemblies) that are removed or
replaced without disrupting switch or Fibre Channel link
operation.
•
A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of
CRUs without the use of tools or equipment.
•
System alerts and logs that display switch, Ethernet link, and
Fibre Channel link status at the EFCM Basic Edition interface,
client communicating with the management server, or customer-
supplied server (running a SAN management application).
•
Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs)
and port diagnostics (loopback tests).
•
An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the switch (port
access is password protected) that enables installation or service
personnel to change the switch's IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address.
These parameters can also be changed through a Telnet session,
access for which is provided through a local or remote PC with an
Internet connection to the switch.
•
Data collection through the EFCM Basic Edition interface or
Element Manager application to help isolate system problems.
The data includes a memory dump file and audit, hardware, and
engineering logs.
•
Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port or
switch. When port beaconing is enabled, the amber LED
associated with the port flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled,
the system error indicator on the front panel flashes. Beaconing
does not affect port or switch operation.
•
An internal modem for use by support personnel to dial-in to the
management server (optional) for event notification and to
perform remote diagnostics.
