5. During initial setup, the status indicators might not be fully operational.
When the indicator is a solid amber, it means there was a boot failure. When it
flashes, the controller is inoperative. Check either HP Command View EVA or the
LCD Fault Management displays for a definition of the problem and recommended
corrective action.
When the indicator is flashing green slowly, the controller is booting up. When
the indicator turns to solid green, boot is successful and the controller is operating
normally.
When this indicator is green, there is at least one physical link between the storage
system and hosts that is active and functioning normally. When this indicator is
amber, there are no links between the storage system and hosts that are active
and functioning normally.
When this indicator is green, all virtual disks that are presented to hosts are healthy
and functioning normally. When this indicator is amber, at least one virtual disk
is not functioning normally. When this indicator is off, there are no virtual disks
presented to hosts and this indicates a problem with the virtual disk on the array.
When this indicator is green, the battery is working properly. When this indicator
is amber, there is a battery failure.
Press to turn on (solid blue); press again to turn it off. This LED mimics the function
of the UID on the back of the controller.This indicator comes on in response to a
Locate command issued by HP Command View EVA.
