Description
The port is beaconing. The amber port LED
blinks once every two seconds to enable
users to find a specific port. Enable
beaconing through the port's menu on the
Port Card View, Port List View, or
Performance View.
The reasons for this state appear in the
Reason field of the Port Properties dialog
box.
A link incident occurred on the port. The
alert symbol displays in the Port List View,
Port Card View, and Hardware View.
The director and the attached device are
performing a link reset operation to recover
the link connection. Ordinarily, this is a
transient state that should not persist.
No signal (light) is being received on the
director port. This is a normal condition
when there is no cable plugged into the port
or when the power of the device attached to
the other end of the link is off.
