Table 9-3. Logical Connector Properties
Path Health
The path health of the connectors is represented as normal, warning, or
critical. The possible values are displayed as Available, Degraded, or Failed.
If the enclosure health is displayed as degraded and further investigation
shows all enclosure components (EMMs, Fans, Physical Disks, Power
Supplies, and Temperature) to be in normal condition, select the
Information/Configuration subtab of the enclosure to view details of the
Path Failure.
Clearing the Redundant Path View
If you do not want the redundant path view, physically disconnect the
connector port from the enclosure and reboot the system. After the system
reboots, the user interface still displays the Logical Connector, but in a
critical state. If you are certain you do not want the redundant path mode,
select Clear Redundant Path view from the Controller Tasks.
