• Never Connected—A network connection was never established between the director and
the HAFM appliance and 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 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 is displayed 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.
• Link Disabled—The IP address of an open Element Manager was removed from the
discover list.
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 ”
page 45 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 is displayed on the port connector in the
Hardware view. At the same time, a yellow triangle is displayed on the status bar to indicate a
degraded director. However, if a blinking red and yellow diamond is displayed 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 ”
•
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.
