Monitoring and Managing the Director Table 2-1: Port States and Indicators (Continued) Port State Invalid Attachment Port Indicators Green On Amber Off Alert Indicator Yellow Triangle Link Incident Off Off Yellow Triangle Link Reset Off Off Yellow Triangle No Light Off Off None Not Off Off Yellow Operational Triangle Description The director port is in an invalid attachment state in either of five cases: (1) a loopback plug is connected to the port and there is no diagnostic test running, (2) the fiber-optic cable is connected to another port on the same director, (3) the port type is configured as an F_Port and it is connected to another director (E_Port), (4) the port type is configured as an E_Port and is connected to an N_Port, or (5) a port binding violation has occurred due to an invalid entry in the Bound WWN column in the Configure Ports dialog box. Note: Ports can be configured as G_Ports, F_Ports, and E_Ports through the Configure Ports dialog box. A link incident occurred on the port. The status symbol displays in the Port List View, Port Card View, and Hardware View. The director and the attached device are performing a link reset operation to recover the link connection. Ordinarily, this is a transient state that should not persist. No signal (light) is being received on the director port. This is a normal condition when there is no cable plugged into the port or when the power of the device attached to the other end of the link is off. The director port is receiving the Fibre Channel not operational sequence (NOS) indicating that the attached device is not operational. 2-42 director product manager user guide
