Obtain Port Diagnostic Information
Fibre Channel port diagnostic information can be obtained by:
• Inspecting port LEDs at the switch front panel or emulated
port LEDs at the management server’s Hardware View.
• Inspecting parameters at the SANpilot interface.
• Inspecting parameters at the management server (Sphereon
4500 Element Manager application).
Port LEDs
To obtain port operational information, inspect port LEDs at the
switch front panel or emulated port LEDs at the management
