HP HyperFabric manual HF2 Switch LED Colors and Meanings

Troubleshooting HyperFabric

LED Colors and Their Meanings

✓If the connection from the port to the corresponding adapter in the HP 9000 is operational, the LED on the port shows as solid green.

✓If data is flowing between the port and the corresponding adapter, the LED shows as flashing green. Note that data does not start to flow until HyperFabric initialization has occurred (see “Using the clic_init Command” on page 70).

Note that a legend listing the possible port states—disconnected, connected, and traffic—and the corresponding LED colors is printed on the front of the switch, for your reference.

	Table 6-3 below summarizes the HF2 switch LED information in a table format.
