Performing Diagnostics Viewing Adapter Port Transceiver Details
Serial Number. Indicates the vendor serial number for the transceiver device.
Type. Describes the transceiver device based on information that SANsurfer FC HBA Manager reads from the device.
For instance, the type
Speed. Indicates the data transfer rate for the transceiver device in Mbytes/sec.
Diagnostic Data
The Diagnostic Data section shows the existing Value, Status, High Alarm value, High Warning value, Low Warning value, and Low Alarm value for the following data:
Temperature (C). Temperature of the transceiver device in degrees centigrade
Voltage (V). Voltage of the transceiver device power supply in volts
Tx Bias (mA). Transmitting laser bias current in mA
Tx Power (mW). Coupled transmitter output power of the laser in mW
Rx Power (mW). Received optical power in mW
The Value shows the existing number value for the datum. The Status shows its rank as Normal, Warning, or Fault. Normal status appears in a green cell in the Diagnostic Data section. Fault status appears in a red cell, and warning status appears in a yellow cell. A fault status requires immediate action.
Each datum has a High Alarm and a Low Alarm value. If a datum exceeds the High Alarm value or falls below the Low Alarm value, the conditions are likely to cause an inoperable link and require immediate action.
Additionally, each datum has a High Warning value and Low Warning value. Warnings indicate conditions outside the normally guaranteed bounds, but are not necessarily causes for immediate link failures.
NOTE:
Specific warning flags may represent the manufacture's end of life indicators.
