Mic Port State Display Lights - HP NetServer AA 4000 Administrator's Manual

Chapter 2
State Description
Active Indicates that the server components on both sides of the Interconnect are active members of
the server configuration. The Interconnect remains in this state until one of the components
is removed from the configuration. Then, the Interconnect transitions to offline or ready.
Faulted Indicates that the server removed the Interconnect from operation as a result of one or more
faults that were attributed to the Interconnect. The Interconnect remains in this state until it is
repaired and then enabled (using Endurance Manager).

MIC Port State Display Lights

Each IOP collects and displays the status of its local MIC ports along with the status of the CE
MIC ports connected through the cable. CE status is relayed to the IOP with the assistance of
MIC firmware; therefore, the CE port status is only available after the CE MIC BIOS has set
its ports to a software-enabled state.
The following table explains the MIC port state lights displayed on the MIC's graphical display
in the Endurance Manager window.

State Description
Good The MIC hardware is successfully sending and receiving fiber
signals through the fiber connector.
Failed The MIC port has detected a break in communication over the
path, which may be caused by a cable disconnection or a failure
in the transmitters or receivers associated with this path. This
light does not indicate which end of the path may have failed,
and does not imply that the MIC reporting this state is broken.
Lost Power The MIC port at the opposite end of the cable has detected a
local DC-low condition (power loss).
PCI Reset The MIC port at the opposite end of the cable has detected a
PCI bus reset.
