Monitoring and Managing the Director 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 a port card. To use this option, follow the detailed steps in the HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 Service Manual. Channel Wrap (FICON Management Style only) Click this while in FICON management style to display a check mark and allow a channel wrap test to be initiated from an attached host or device. In this test, frames are sent to the director port, then the director echoes the frames back to the sending device to test the channel. The director remains in channel wrap mode until the option is disabled. While in channel wrap mode, the port can only accept echo commands from the host and display as to be blocked to all other communication. Click the check box to remove the check mark and disable channel wrap. Swap Ports (FICON Management Style only) Click this while in FICON management style to display the Swap Ports dialog box. Use this dialog box to swap addresses between ports. 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 status 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 HAFM server. Reset Port Click to display a confirmation dialog box. Click Yes on that dialog box to reset the port. If a switch is attached to the port and is online, this operation sends a link reset to the attached switch; otherwise, this action disables port beaconing for the port. And if the port is in a failed state, such as after failing a loopback test, the reset restores the port to an operational state, clearing the service required (amber) LED. The reset does not affect other ports in the switch. Director Product Manager User Guide 91

frames are sent to the director port, then the director echoes the frames back to the
sending device to test the channel. The director remains in channel wrap mode
until the option is disabled. While in channel wrap mode, the port can only accept
echo commands from the host and display as to be blocked to all other
communication. Click the check box to remove the check mark and disable

reset restores the port to an operational state, clearing the service required (amber)
LED. The reset does not affect other ports in the switch.
