• 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 i incorrect 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.

Status bar status indicator

The status bar displays a colored status symbol that indicates the overall operating status of the

director unit. The operating status depends on hardware component failures, which are indicated

by status symbols that display over component graphics in the Hardware view. See ”

Status bar

” on

page 42 for the meanings of status symbols on the status bar.
The status bar indicates the director operating status based on component failures. For example,

for a single port failure, a blinking red and yellow diamond displays on the port connector in the

Hardware view. At the same time, a yellow triangle displays on the status bar to indicate a

degraded director. However, if a blinking red and yellow diamond displays over both fan

modules, the status bar displays a red and yellow diamond, indicating a failure that requires

immediate attention.

Monitoring hardware operation

Determine hardware component operating status and states by the simulated LED indicators and

status symbols that display on port cards, CTP cards, power supplies, fan modules, and SBAR

cards illustrated in the Hardware view.

Green and amber indicators illuminate on each FRU to indicate either an operational or

degraded state, respectively. LEDs for individual ports do not illuminate on port cards in the

Hardware view, but do illuminate in the Port Card view for each port. See ”

Port Card view

” on

page 63.

Status symbols, such as flashing red and yellow diamonds and yellow triangles, display on

FRUs to reflect the overall state of the hardware as changes occur.

Corresponding or additional descriptions of hardware status and states also display when you

click components to display Properties dialog boxes.
