Introduction

Troubleshooting Fibre Channel problems can involve a variety of hardware and software components. A problem affecting the system may originate in another part of the Fibre Channel Mass Storage interconnect. If you cannot solve the problem on your own, contact your HP representative.

Adapter LED States

The Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter status LEDs indicate the state of the adapter. Table 3-1 lists the different LED states for the adapter.
