, the amber LED is blinking (while the green LED is on) for the
first port on the card, and a yellow triangle displays by the port’s connector.
This indicates that beaconing is enabled for the port and the port is in an
online state. Note that if the amber port indicator flashes and the green
indicator is off, the port is running diagnostics.
The green indicator illuminates when the port is online with an attached
device and fully operational. The green port LED remains on as long as the
port remains in the online state. The green LED on the physical card flashes
when there is active Fibre Channel traffic through the port. It does not flash in
the Port Card View.

When the port is operational but not communicating with an attached device,
the green indicator remains off. In this case, there may not be a fiber cable
attached, no light from the device (the device switch is powered off), the port
may be blocked, or the link may be recovering.
4
If the port fails, the amber indicator for port illuminates and a blinking red and
yellow diamond displays next to the port connector.
5
A yellow triangle (attention indicator) displays next to a port connector for a
variety of reasons:
■
Beaconing for the port was enabled through the Enable Beaconing
option. Note that this is the case in the illustration on
(see
number 1 in the illustration).
■
The port is receiving the Not Operational sequence from the attached
device.
■
The port has an invalid attachment.
■
The director and attached device are performing a link reset operation.
■
LIN status symbols have been enabled for a port in the Configure Ports
dialog box and a link incident occurs.
■
A threshold status has occurred for the port.
■
Diagnostics are running on the port.

The Port Card View indicates a failed port by a blinking red and yellow
diamond status symbol by the port’s connector. The amber LED for the port
will also be illuminated (see number 4 in
).
7
A blank port indicates that the port optics are not installed.
