Maintenance Approach
Whenever possible, the switch maintenance approach instructs
service personnel to perform fault isolation and repair procedures
without degrading or interrupting operation of the switch, attached
devices, or associated applications. Switch fault isolation begins
when one or more of the following occur:
• System event information displays at a browser-capable PC
communicating with the switch through the SANpilot interface.
• System event information displays at a LAN-connected PC or
workstation communicating with the rack-mount management
server running a SAN management application.
• LEDs on the switch front panel or FRUs illuminate to indicate a
hardware malfunction.
• An unsolicited SNMP trap message is received at a management
workstation, indicating an operational state change or failure.
• Notification of a significant system event is received at a
designated support center through an E-mail message or the
call-home feature.
System events can be related to a:
• Switch or management server failure (hardware or software).
• Ethernet LAN communication failure between the switch and
management server.
• Link failure between a port and attached device.
• ISL failure or segmentation of an E_Port.
