Select the Fibre Channel HBA Controller item from the left panel to display the following information:

  • Status displays the status of the HBA controller. The following values are valid:

    • OK- The Fibre channel HBA is operational.

    • Offline- The Fibre channel HBA is offline. The Fibre channel HBA may be powered off or there may be a cabling problem.

    • Link Down- The link of the Fibre channel HBA is down.

    • Unknown- The provider cannot determine the status of the Fibre channel HBA.

    • Stressed indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, and so on.

    • Predictive Failure indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.

    • In Service describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.

    • No Contact indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.

    • Lost Communication indicates that the Managed System Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.

    • Stopped and Aborted are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated.

    • Dormant indicates that the element is inactive or quiescent.

    • Supporting Entity in Error indicates that this element might be "OK" but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.

    • Completed indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete with OK or did not report an error).

    • Power Mode indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.

  • Location displays the location of the controller

  • World Wide Port Name displays the unique Fibre Channel port name for the controller. Use this value to further identify a particular controller

  • World Wide Node Name displays the unique Fibre Channel node name for the controller. Use this value to further identify a particular controller

  • Serial Number displays the serial number for the controller. Use this value for identification purposes.
