Monitoring and managing the Director
64 Director Element Manager User Guide
— Coming online—This is a transitional state that occurs just before the
director goes online. This state normally only happens briefly, unless
there is a problem reaching the online state.
— Going offline—This is a transitional state that occurs just before the
director goes offline. This state normally only happens briefly, unless
there is a problem reaching the offline state.
■ No Link Status—If the Ethernet network connection between the HAFM
appliance and the director is down, the Hardware View displays the front and
rear of the unit without FRUs. The Status table at the top of the Hardware
View changes to display the status (No Link) and the associated reason with a
yellow background. The name, description, and location fields are blank.
The Reason field on the director Status table displays one of the following
reasons when there are no links:
— Never Connected—A network connection was never established
between the director and the HAFM appliance if the CTP card fails.
Check the IP addresses, the Ethernet local area network (LAN) physical
connection between the director and HAFM appliance, and other network
connection conditions.
— Link Timeout—The network connection that was established between
the director and HAFM appliance has been lost. Check the IP addresses,
the Ethernet LAN physical connection between the director and HAFM
appliance, IP addresses, and other network components.
— Protocol Mismatch—The director and the HAFM appliance are not at
compatible software release levels. Update either HAFM or your
firmware version.
— Duplicate Session—A link has previously been established between the
director and another instance of the HAFM appliance. Connect to the
previously established HAFM appliance from the HAFM login screen.
— Unknown Network Address—The address defined for the director in
HAFM could not be found in the domain name server (DNS). Either the
name was mistyped when the director was added to the application, or the
name was not available from the DNS. Check the network IP address for
the director definition in the application by right-clicking the product icon
and choosing Properties. The IP address displays in the Network
Address field.
— Incorrect Product Type—The product at the configured network address
is not a director. Verify address, configuration, and product type.
