Block Port
Click to display a check mark and block port transmission. If blocked, a node attached to
the port is prevented from logging into the director or communicating with other devices
attached to director ports. A blocked port continuously transmits offline signals (OLS).
Click to remove the check mark and unblock the port. If unblocked, a node attached to the
port can communicate with the director and communicate with other nodes attached to the
director.
Enable Beaconing
Click this to make the amber LED by the port blink on the actual director and the amber
indicator blink for the port in the Hardware View. This enables users to locate the unit
where the port is located. When a blinking amber LED indicator displays by a port, an
attention indicator (
) displays below the port’s connector in the Port Card View, Port List
View, and on the FPM card in the Hardware View.
Diagnostics
Click this option to display the Port Diagnostics dialog box. Use this dialog box to run an
internal loopback and external loopback test on the port. The Port Diagnostics option
enables you to run internal and external loopback tests on any port or all ports on an FPM
card. To use this option, follow the detailed steps in the hp surestore director fc-64
Installation and Service Manual (HP A6534-90902).
Clear Link Incident Alerts
Click this to clear the attention indicator on the Hardware View, the Port List View, and the
Performance View. In addition, the procedure clears the alert description in port Properties
dialog boxes. If there are no link incident alerts set for a port, no actions occur. Although
you can manually clear link incidents, they may also be cleared by actions outside of the
user interface, such as when rebooting the HP EFC server.
