Using Maintenance Features For details on functions performed by an IPL, refer to the hp StorageWorks director 2/64 service manual for the Director 2/64 and the hp StorageWorks director 2/140 service manual for the Director 2/140. Set Online State Use the procedure in this section to display the current director operating state (offline or online) and change the state as required. The director can have one of the following operational states: • Online-When the director is in the online state, all of the unblocked ports are allowed to log in to the fabric and to begin communicating. Devices can connect to the director and communicate with another device if: - The port is not blocked. - The default zone is enabled or both devices are in the same zone. • Offline-When the director is in the offline state, all the installed ports are offline. The ports transmit an OLS (offline sequence), and they cannot accept a login for connection from an attached device. All ports in the director, including E_Ports, are placed offline regardless of whether they were blocked or unblocked and the director is removed from a multiswitch fabric. CAUTION: Before setting the director offline, warn administrators and users currently operating devices that are attached to the director that it is going offline and that there will be a disruption of communications. Make sure administrators of devices attached to ports quiesce Fibre Channel traffic through the director. To set the director online or offline (depending on current state), right-click on the director in the Hardware View and choose Set Online State from the menu, or use the following steps: 1. Choose Set Online State from the Maintenance menu on the menu bar. 2. Click Set Offline or Set Online, depending on the operating state you want to set. 3. When a warning box displays requesting you to confirm the offline or online state, click OK. As the director goes offline, OFFLINE displays in the State field of the Director Status table in the Hardware View. LED indicators on all ports with attached devices stay green, but the director is sending offline sequences (OLS) to these devices. 5-4 director product manager user guide
