Obtaining Port Diagnostic Information

Fibre channel port diagnostics are performed at the switch and Element Manager

application. These diagnostics include:

■ Inspecting port LEDs at the switch front panel or emulated port LEDs at the

HAFM Hardware View.

■ Inspecting parameters at the HAFM appliance (Edge Switch 2/32 Element

Manager application).

■ Inspecting parameters at the EWS interface (refer to the HP StorageWorks

Embedded Web Server User Guide for more information).

■ Performing channel wrap tests. The tests apply only to a switch configured for

FICON management style.

Port LEDs

To obtain port operational information, inspect port LEDs at the switch front

panel or emulated port LEDs at the HAFM Hardware View.

Amber and green LEDs adjacent to each port indicate operational status as

follows:

■ The green LED illuminates (or blinks if there is active traffic) and the amber

LED extinguishes to indicate normal port operation.

■ The amber LED illuminates and the green LED extinguishes to indicate a port

failure.

■ Both LEDs extinguish to indicate a port is operational but not communicating

(no SFP installed, no cable attached, loss of light, port blocked, or link

recovery in process).

■ The amber LED flashes and the green LED illuminates (or blinks if there is

active traffic) to indicate beaconing is set for the port.

The amber LED flashes and the green LED extinguishes to indicate a port is

running online diagnostics, or beaconing is set and the port is not communicating

(no SFP installed, no cable attached, loss of light, port blocked, or link recovery in

process).
