HP Surestore 64 - Director Switch User Manual page 83

Refer to the following numbered list for the meaning of the alert symbols and LED
indicators shown on the Port Card View in Figure 25. Port states are described in detail
under Port Operational States on page 98.
1. The amber indicator at the top of a FPM card illuminates when the FPM card fails. An
FPM card fails when one or more individual ports fail.
Four sets of green and amber LEDs beneath the amber card status indicator
correspond to the four port connectors installed vertically down the FPM card.
2. In Figure 25, the amber LED is blinking (while the green LED is on) for the first port on
the card, and a yellow triangle displays by the port's connector. This indicates that
beaconing is enabled for the port and the port is an online state. Note that if the amber
port indicator flashes and the green indicator is off, the port is running diagnostics.
The green indicator illuminates when the port is online with an attached device and
fully operational. The green port LED remains on as long as the port remains in the
online state. The green LED on the physical card flashes when there is active Fibre
Channel traffic through the port. It does not flash in the Port Card View.
3. When the port is operational but not communicating with an attached device, the green
indicator remains off. In this case, there may not be a fiber cable attached, no light from
the device (the device switch is powered off), the port may be blocked, or the link may
be recovering.
4. If the port fails, the amber indicator for port illuminates and a blinking red and yellow
diamond displays next to the port connector.
5. A yellow triangle (attention indicator) displays next to a port connector for a variety of
reasons:
Beaconing for the port was enabled through the Enable Beaconing option. Note that
this is the case in Figure 25 (refer to number 1 in the figure).
The port is receiving the Not Operational sequence from the attached device.
The port has an invalid attachment.
The director and attached device are performing a link reset operation.
