For information on attached components, see the following topic:
l Enclosure and Backplane Properties and Tasks
Logical Connector Properties and Tasks
Use this window to view information about the logical connector (connector in redundant path mode) and to execute connector tasks.

Logical Connector Properties
The connector properties can vary depending on the model of the controller. Connector properties may include:
Table 8-3. Logical Connector Properties

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 further 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 still displays 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 Controller Tasks.
Selecting this option clears the redundant path view and the connectors are represented on the user interface as Connector 0 and Connector 1.
