Property Definition
— Critical/Failure/Error
For more information, see Storage Component Severity. A
Warning or Critical severity may indicate that the connector is
unable to communicate with attached devices such as an
enclosure. Check the status of attached devices. For more
information, see Cables Attached Correctly and Isolate Hardware
Problems.
Name Displays the connector number.
State Displays the status of the connector. Possible values are:
• Ready — The connector is functioning normally.
• Degraded — The connector has encountered a failure
and is operating in a degraded state.
• Failed — The connector has encountered a failure and is
no longer functioning.
Connector Type Displays whether the connector is operating in RAID or SCSI
mode. Depending on the controller type, the connector can be
either a SCSI connector or a SAS port.
Termination Indicates the termination type of the connector. Possible values
are:
• Narrow — Indicates an 8–bit data bus.
• Wide — Indicates a 16–bit data bus.
• Unknown — Indicates that the termination type is
unknown.
• Not Terminated — On a SCSI controller, this property
indicates that the data bus is not terminated. This
property is also displayed when the termination type is
Unknown.
SCSI Rate Displays the SCSI speed for a SCSI device.

Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
On a SCSI controller, the Rescan task rescans the controller connectors to verify the currently connected devices or to
recognize new devices that have been added to the connectors. Performing a rescan on a connector is similar to
performing a rescan on the controller. For information on scheduling a rescan, see Rescanning To Update Storage
Configuration Changes.
NOTE: Rescan is not supported on non-RAID SCSI controllers. Reboot the system before Storage Management can
see configuration changes on non-RAID SCSI controllers. Otherwise, configuration changes are not reflected in
the Storage Management graphical user interface (GUI).
