• HBA Temperature - If supported by the selected HBA, this field displays the HBA's temperature
and one of the following temperature-related status messages:
• Normal: The HBA temperature is within normal operational range.
• Exceeded operational range - Critical: The HBA temperature is beyond normal opera-
tional range. If the temperature continues to increase, the HBA will shut down. You must
determine the cause of the temperature problem and fix it immediately. Check for sys-
tem cooling issues. Common causes of system cooling issues include clogged air filters,
inoperable fans and air conditioning problems that cause high ambient air temperatures.
• Exceeded operational range - HBA stopped: The temperature has reached critical limit,
forcing the HBA to shut down. You must determine the cause of the temperature prob-
lem and fix it before resuming operation. Check for system cooling issues. Common
causes of system cooling issues include clogged air filters, inoperable fans and air con-
ditioning problems that cause high ambient air temperatures.
After the system overheating issue is resolved and the HBA has cooled down, reboot the system
or, if the system supports hot swapping, cycle the power of the HBA slot.
Adapter Status Area
• State - The current operational state of the HBA: “Up”, “Down” or “Undiscovered”.
• Link Status - The current link status between the HBA and the fabric. There are several possible
states:
• The “Operational” state indicates that the HBA is connected to the network and operating
normally.
• All other states indicate that the HBA is not connected to the network. Green HBA icons with
red descriptive text indicate that the HBA is offline. These offline states are:
• “User offline” - The HBA is down or not connected to the network.
• “Bypassed” - The HBA is in FC discovery mode.
• “Diagnostic Mode” - The HBA is controlled by a diagnostic program.
• “Link Down” - There is no access to the network.
• “Port Error” - The HBA is in an unknown state; try resetting it.
• “Loopback” - An FC-1 mode in which information passed to the FC-1 transmitter is
shunted directly to the FC-1 Receiver. When a FC interface is in loopback mode, the
loopback signal overrides any external signal detected by the receiver.
• “Unknown” - The HBA is offline for an unknown reason.
• Link Speed - The link speed of the HBA in gigabits per second.
