Part number: This field represents the part number of the logical hardware resource.

Resource name: The resource name is the symbolic name of the logical hardware resource. The resource name was either created by the system when the hardware was first sensed, or was updated to a new value by a user on a change screen. The logical hardware resource name is autonomous from the packaging hardware resource name.

HSL OptiConnect Status: This field represents the status for networking. To be network capable a loop must contain at least two systems. It may also contain I/O towers. There are five possible values for this field:

Not Available

The loop contains hardware which is not network capable.

Enabled

This logical partition is participating in the HSL OptiConnect system area network on this loop.

Enabling

The user selected option 1 on this resource and the system is performing the function.

Disabled

This logical partition is not participating in the HSL OptiConnect system area network on this loop.

Disabling

The user selected option 3 on this resource and the system is performing the function.

Mode: The mode field indicates whether or not the ownership of this resource can be switched to another server. The possible values are Private or Switchable. Private indicates that the ownership of this resource cannot be changed. Switchable indicates that the ownership of this resource is changeable.

Leading port to next resource: The leading port connects to the next resource in the loop. This field shows the port number to which another resource in the loop is connected. However, the loop is redundant so indicating direction is arbitrary. This field will be blank if the link is an internal link.

Trailing port from previous resource: The trailing port connects to the previous resource in the loop. This field shows the port number to which another resource in the loop is connected. However, the loop is redundant so indicating direction is arbitrary. This field will be blank if the link is an internal link.

Link status: Current status of the link as reported by the hardware. Possible values for status are as follows:

Unknown

The system cannot determine status of the resource. A resource may be non-reporting or unable to communicate its status.

Operational

The link is operating normally.

Failed The link is broken, disconnected, or does not exist. This also may mean that the resource to which the link is connected may have failed or is powered off.
