Monitoring and Managing the Director Alert Panel Status Indicator The alert panel displays a colored alert symbol that indicates the overall operating status of the director unit. The operating status depends on hardware component failures, which are indicated by alert symbols that display over component graphics in the Hardware View. Refer to Alert Panel on page 26 for the meanings of alert symbols in the alert panel. The alert panel indicates the director operating status based on component failures. For example, for a single port failure, a blinking red and yellow diamond displays on the port connector in the Hardware View. At the same time, a yellow triangle displays in the alert panel to indicate a degraded director. However, if a blinking red and yellow diamond displays over both fan modules, the alert panel displays a red and yellow diamond, indicating a failure that requires immediate attention. Monitoring Hardware Operation Determine hardware component operating status and states by the simulated LED indicators and alert symbols that appear on FPM cards, CTP cards, power supplies, fan modules, and SBAR cards illustrated in the Hardware View. • Green and amber indicators illuminate on each FRU to indicate either an operational or degraded state respectively. LEDs for individual ports do not illuminate on FPM cards in the Hardware View, but do illuminate in the Port Card View for each port (refer to Using the Port Card View on page 66). • Alert symbols, such as flashing red and yellow diamonds and yellow triangles, appear on FRUs to reflect the overall state of the hardware as changes occur. • Corresponding or additional descriptions of hardware status and states also display when you click on components to display Properties dialog boxes. Figure 16 illustrates the HP Surestore Director FC-64 hardware view with examples of symbols and simulated LED indicators that can help you monitor hardware operation. Numbers by each example are keyed to descriptions that follow. Hardware View 53
