Repair Information

A red indicator on each port bar graph (high-water mark) remains at the highest level the graph has reached since the Performance View was opened. The indicator does not appear if the port is offline, and is reset to the bottom of the graph if the port detects a loss of light.

When the mouse pointer is passed over a port bar graph, the graph highlights with a blue border and an information pop-up displays adjacent to the port as follows:

•If a device is not attached to the port, the pop-up displays the port’s current state.

•If a device is attached to the port, the pop-up displays the WWN of the attached device.

•If the port is an E_Port, the pop-up displays E_Port.

•If the port is segmented, the pop-up displays Segmented E_Port.
