Description
The director port is receiving the Fibre
Channel not operational sequence (NOS),
indicating that the attached device is not
operational.
The attached device has successfully
connected to the director and is ready to
communicate or is in the process of
communicating with other attached devices.
As long as the port remains online, the
green port LED remains illuminated. Note
that on the actual port in the unit, the green
LED blinks when there is active Fibre
Channel traffic through the port.
The director port was configured as
"blocked" and is transmitting the Fibre
Channel OLS to the attached device.
The director port was configured as
"unblocked" and is receiving the Fibre
Channel OLS, indicating that the attached
device is offline.
The director port has failed and requires
service. The amber LED for the port
remains illuminated.
The E_Port is segmented preventing the
two fabrics from joining (this only occurs
when two directors are connected to each
other). Display the Port Properties dialog
box to view the segmentation reason.
