Port List - HP StorageWorks User Manual

Port list

Displays information about the ports and paths of the local disk array or external disk array, depending on
the item selected in the Port tree. You can sort the list by displayed items. For instance, to sort the items by
the port number, select Port on the list.
Figure 22 Port list (External selected in the Port tree)
The displayed contents changes depending on the item selected in the Port tree.
• Subsystem
When selected, displays nothing in the Port tree. Subsystem is selected when you initially display the
Port tree.
• External
• Port: Port of the local disk array with the port attribute is set to External.
• Path: Number of set paths.
• FLI_TOV: Wait time (in seconds) from the switch to FLOGI when the switch is connected. External
Storage XP automatically sets this value. You cannot change the value.
• PLI_TOV: Wait time (in seconds) of PLOGI to the external disk array when the switch is not
connected. External Storage XP automatically sets this value. You cannot change the value.
• Margin: Additional wait time (in seconds) to FLI_TOV (FLOGI wait time) or PLI_TOV (PLOGI wait
time). External Storage XP automatically sets this value. You cannot change the value. As a result,
the sum of the FLI_TOV time and margin time, or the sum of the PLI_TOV time and margin time is set
as a total wait time.
• Status: Status of the path set in the port identified by the WWN. The highest emergency level status
is displayed when two or more paths are set. One of the following statuses is displayed:
• Normal: Path is normal.
• Unknown: Path status is unknown.
• Blockade: Path is blocked.
• Disconnect: Connection to the external disk array or external LU was intentionally stopped using
the Disconnect Subsystem ore Disconnect Volume command.
• Warning: There are paths whose status is not normal. Check the status of the paths.
• Checking: Process of checking the defined configuration information of the paths is in progress.
• Port number of the local disk array
• Port: Port number of the local disk array selected in the Port tree.
• WWN: WWN identifying the external disk array's port. This port is connected to the local disk
array port selected in the Port tree.
• LUN: External disk array's LU number.
• Characteristic: External LU's identification number.
• Group: External LU group number and reference number assigned to each LU in the external LU
group. External Storage XP automatically assigns the reference numbers to LUs in the group when
the external LUs are mapped. This is displayed in the format of "external LU group number -
reference number of volume in the group".
