USER’S GUIDE

MONITORING THE SWITCH

The Emulex Model 355 SAN Storage Switch provides several options for monitoring the switch status and port information. This section describes how to view switch status, the event log, port information and utilization, and port diagnostics.

Viewing Switch Status

The Web Manager’s home page is the Switch Information page. This page is displayed first when the Web Manager is opened and shows general switch information, including switch status, fan and power supply operational indicators, and port health and utilization.

This page continually refreshes to guarantee that the most current switch status is displayed. To return to this page at any time, click the Storage Switch menu item.

Switch Information

Current status is provided for the following items.

Item	Status Indicators

Switch Status	• OK (green)–the switch unit is operating normally.
	• Fault (red)–one or more of the ports has failed, the internal temperature
	has exceeded acceptable levels, or another error has occurred. Errors
	appear in the event log. The switch will continue to operate; however,
	functionality may be impaired depending on the event that triggered the
	error. Regardless of the cause, the switch requires immediate attention.

SOC Status	• OK (green)–the switch chipset is operating normally.
	• Fault (red)–the switch chipset’s selftest has failed.

Enclosure Temperature	• OK (green)–the switch temperature is within the normal operating
	range.
	• OverTemp (red)–the enclosure temperature has exceeded the
	recommended operating range.

Fan	• OK (green)–the fan unit is working properly.
	• Fault (red)–the fan unit has stopped operating.
