Fibre Channel LEDs

The Fibre Channel LEDs indicate the status of the Fibre Channel ports on the SAN Volume Controller 2145-SV1 node.

The SAN Volume Controller 2145-SV1 uses two LEDs per Fibre Channel port, which are located directly under the port. The following figure shows the location of the LEDs.

The following table lists the link status values for the Fibre Channel LEDs.

Green LED Amber LED Meaning
Off Off One of the following situations is in effect:
  • The port is not configured in flex hardware.
  • The port is not active in the current profile. For example, in a 2 x 16 Gb profile, 2 ports are inactive.
Off On The port is configured, but the link is not detected at the transport layer. This situation is the result of the port not being connected or of a failed link negotiation with the switch.
On Off The link is up and running at the expected port speed. This display does not necessarily imply logical connectivity, that is, completion of FLOGI or FIP.
On On The link is up, but running at a degraded speed.
