Status Bar Status Indicator; Monitoring Hardware Operation - HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 User Manual

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

Status Bar Status Indicator

The status bar displays a colored status symbol that indicates the overall operating
status of the switch 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
status symbols in the status bar.
The status bar indicates the switch 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 switch. However, if a blinking red and yellow
diamond displays over both power supplies, 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 light
emitting diode (LED) indicators and status symbols, such as flashing red and yellow
diamonds and yellow triangles, that appear on hardware components. These simulated
LEDs and status symbols reflect the state of the actual hardware as changes occur.
Corresponding or additional descriptions of hardware status and states also display
when you double-click components to display Properties dialog boxes.
Figure 2–1 illustrates the Hardware View for the Edge Switch 2/24. The figure
includes examples of symbols and LED indicators that display to help you monitor
hardware operation. Numbers by each example are keyed to descriptions under
View (following) and Rear View on page 2-7.
