Adapter Status Area Field Definitions

State - The current operational state of the HBA: “Up” or “Down”.

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 Fibre Channel 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.
