Monitoring and Managing the Director State The State field displays one of the following: • Offline-When the director is OFFLINE, all ports are offline. The ports cannot accept a login from an attached device or cannot connect to other directors. You can configure this state through the Set Online State dialog box. Refer to "Set Online State" on page 5-4 for instructions. • Online-All unblocked ports are able to connect with devices. You can configure this state through the Set Online State dialog box. Refer to "Set Online State" on page 5-4 for instructions. Note that the director automatically goes online after a power-up or an initial machine load (IML) or initial program load (IPL). • Coming online-This is a transitional state that occurs just before the director goes online. This state normally only happens briefly, unless there is a problem reaching the online state. • Going offline-This is a transitional state that occurs just before the director goes offline. This state normally only happens briefly, unless there is a problem reaching the offline state. No Link Status If the Ethernet network connection between the HAFM server and the director is down, the Hardware View displays the front and rear of the unit without FRUs. The Director Status table at the top of the Hardware View changes to display the status (No Link) and reason with a yellow background. The name, description, and location fields are blank. The Reason field on the Director Status table displays one of the following reasons when there are no links. • Never Connected-A network connection was never established between the director and the HAFM server or the CTP card failed. Check the IP addresses, the Ethernet local area network (LAN) physical connection between the director and HAFM server, and other network connection conditions. • Link Timeout-The network connection that was established between the director and server has been lost. Check the IP addresses, the Ethernet LAN physical connection between the director and HAFM server, IP addresses, and other network components. • Protocol Mismatch-The director and the server are not at compatible software release levels. Update the HAFM application software version. director product manager user guide 2-3

•

can configure this state through the
Set Online State
dialog box. Refer to “
Set
Online State
” on
page 5–4
for instructions.
•
Online—
All unblocked ports are able to connect with devices. You can configure
this state through the
Set Online State

Set Online State
” on
page 5–4
for instructions. Note that the director automatically goes online after a
power-up or an initial machine load (IML) or initial program load (IPL).
•
Coming online—
This is a transitional state that occurs just before the director
goes online. This state normally only happens briefly, unless there is a problem
