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. The default value is 0.
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 mode. The connector
is always a SAS connector.
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/Conguration subtab of the enclosure to view details
of the Path Failure.
Clearing The Connectors 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. To clear 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.
