
Path Health

The path health of the connectors is represented as normal, warning, or critical. The possible values are displayed as Available, Degraded, or Failed.

If the enclosure health is displayed as degraded and afurther investigation shows all enclosure components (EMMs, Fans, Physical Disks, Power Supplies, and
Temperature) to be in normal condition, select the Information/Configuration subtab of the enclosure to view details of the Path Failure.

Clearing the Redundant Path View

If you do not want the redundant path view, physically disconnect the connector port from the enclosure and reboot the system. After the system reboots, the
user interface will still display the Logical Connector, but in a critical state. If you are certain you do not want the redundant path mode, select Clear
Redundant Path view from the Connector Tasks.

Selecting this option clears the redundant path view and the connectors are represented on the user interface as Connector 0 and Connector 1.
