Ports Controller
ID and port number Media
- FC(P): Fibre Channel Point-to-Point
- FC(L): Fibre Channel-Arbitrated
Loop (public or private)
- FC(-): Not applicable, as when the
port is disconnected
- SAS: Serial Attached SCSI
- iSCSI: Internet SCSI
Target IDFor an FC port,
its WWPN. For a SAS port, its WWPN. For an iSCSI port, its node name
(typically the IQN). Status
- Up: The port is cabled and has an
I/O link.
- Warning: Not all of the port’s PHYs
are up.
- Error: The port is reporting an error
condition.
- Not Present: The controller module
is not installed or is down.
- Disconnected: Either no I/O link
is detected or the port is not cabled.
Speed(A)
- Actual link speed in Gbit/s.
- Blank if not applicable.
Speed(C)Configured host-port
link speed in Gbit/s. Not shown for SAS.
- FC: Auto, 16Gb, 8Gb, or 4Gb
- iSCSI: Auto
- Blank if not applicable
Health
- OK
- Degraded
- Fault
- N/A
- Unknown
ReasonIf Health is not OK, this field shows the reason for the health state. ActionIf Health is not OK, this field shows recommended actions to take to resolve the health
issue. Topo (C)FC and SAS only.
Configured topology. Lanes ExpectedSAS only. If the detail parameter is specified,
this field shows the expected number of PHY lanes in the SAS port. Active LanesSAS only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the number
of active lanes in the SAS port. If the port is connected and fewer
lanes are active than are expected, the port status will change to Warning, the health will change to Degraded, and event 354 will be logged. Disabled LanesSAS only. If the detail parameter is specified, this
field shows the number of disabled lanes in the SAS port. PIDFC only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field is shown. If the port is using
loop topology and the port status is Up, this field shows the primary
loop ID. If the port is not using loop topology or the port status
is not Up, this field shows N/A. IP VersioniSCSI only. IPv4 or IPv6. IP AddressiSCSI only. Assigned port IP address. GatewayiSCSI only. For IPv4, gateway IP address for assigned
IP address. NetmaskiSCSI only.
For IPv4, subnet mask for assigned IP address. Default
RouteriSCSI only. For IPv6, default router
for assigned IP address. Link-Local AddressiSCSI only. For IPv6, the link-local address that is
automatically generated from the MAC address and assigned to the port. MACiSCSI only. Unique Media Access
Control (MAC) hardware address, also called the physical address. SFP StatusIf the detail parameter
is specified, this field shows the SFP status:
- OK
- Not present: No SFP is inserted
in this port.
- Not compatible: The SFP in this
port is not qualified for use in this system. When this condition
is detected, event 464 is logged.
- Incorrect protocol: The SFP protocol
does not match the port protocol. When this condition is detected,
event 464 is logged.
Part NumberIf the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the SFP
part number. Supported SpeedsFC
only. If the detail parameter is specified, this
field shows the link speeds that the SFP supports. 10G
ComplianceiSCSI only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the SFP's 10G compliance
code. If the SFP returns an unsupported code, this field will show
the equivalent hex value. Ethernet ComplianceiSCSI only. If the detail parameter
is specified, this field shows the SFP's Ethernet compliance code.
If the SFP returns an unsupported code, this field will show the equivalent
hex value. Cable TechnologyiSCSI
only. If the detail parameter is specified, this
field shows whether the SFP supports active or passive cable technology. Cable LengthiSCSI only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the link
length (in meters) that is supported by the SFP while operating in
compliance with applicable standards for the cable type. |
