Monitoring and Managing the Director Link Incident Alerts A link incident is a problem detected on a fiber-optic link, like the loss of light, invalid sequences, and other problems. When a problem occurs, a LIN alert is sent to the Link Incident Log in the director Product Manager. LIN alerts warn you that there is a link incident being detected through a port connection that may require operator intervention to correct. If LIN alerts are enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, a yellow triangle (attention indicator) displays by the port connector in the Hardware View and Port Card View and in the Alert column in the Port List View. Clicking on the port in the Port Card View and Port List View with the yellow triangle displays the Port Properties dialog box. If LIN alerts have been enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, the Port Properties dialog box contains a short description of the latest incident in the Link Incident field. Or, if there are no active incidents, "None" displays. The system writes all link incidents to the Link Incident Log. If you enable LIN alerts for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, configure e-mail notification through the HP EFC Manager, and enable E-Mail Notification through the Maintenance menu, you will receive e-mail notification of LIN alerts. The e-mail notification of LIN alerts is available to all users; no user rights are imposed. Although you can clear the attention indicator in the Hardware View and the alert description in the Port Properties dialog box manually, they may also be cleared by actions outside of your control; such as an HP EFC server reboot. You can clear the link incident indicator in the Hardware Card View and the description in the Link Incident field manually. To manually clear the attention indicator (yellow triangle), right-click the port with the yellow triangle and select Clear Link Incident Alert(s) from the menu. In the Clear Link Incident Alert(s) dialog box, select the appropriate option and click OK. Be aware that clearing the incident indicator clears it for everyone using the system. If there are no link incident alerts enabled for a port, no actions occur. Link Incident Alerts 101

Link Incident Alerts

A link incident is a problem detected on a fiber-optic link, like the loss of light, invalid

sequences, and other problems. When a problem occurs, a LIN alert is sent to the Link

Incident Log in the director Product Manager. LIN alerts warn you that there is a link

incident being detected through a port connection that may require operator intervention

to correct.

If LIN alerts are enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, a yellow triangle

(attention indicator) displays by the port connector in the Hardware View and Port Card

View and in the Alert column in the Port List View. Clicking on the port in the Port Card

View and Port List View with the yellow triangle displays the Port Properties dialog box.

If LIN alerts have been enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, the Port

Properties dialog box contains a short description of the latest incident in the Link Incident

field. Or, if there are no active incidents,

“

None

”

displays. The system writes all link

incidents to the Link Incident Log.

If you enable LIN alerts for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, configure e-mail

notification through the HP EFC Manager, and enable E-Mail Notification through the

Maintenance menu, you will receive e-mail notification of LIN alerts.

The e-mail notification of LIN alerts is available to all users; no user rights are imposed.

Although you can clear the attention indicator in the Hardware View and the alert

description in the Port Properties dialog box manually, they may also be cleared by actions

outside of your control; such as an HP EFC server reboot.

You can clear the link incident indicator in the Hardware Card View and the description in

the Link Incident field manually. To manually clear the attention indicator (yellow triangle),

right-click the port with the yellow triangle and select Clear Link Incident Alert(s) from the

menu. In the Clear Link Incident Alert(s) dialog box, select the appropriate option and click

OK. Be aware that clearing the incident indicator clears it for everyone using the system. If

there are no link incident alerts enabled for a port, no actions occur.
