Control Panel, and System. The System Properties dialog box

Task 15: Verify Product-to-Server Communication
Communication must be verified between the product and server
(SAN management and Element Manager applications). To verify
communication:
1. At the SAN management application main window (physical
map or product list), inspect the shape and color of the status
symbol associated with the product icon. Table 2-4 explains
operational states and associated symbols.
2. Right-click the product icon at the SAN management
application’s physical map. A pop-up menu appears.
3. Select the Element Manager option from the pop-up menu. When
the Element Manager application opens, the last view accessed by
a user opens by default. As an example, the Hardware View
(Figure 2-25) is shown.

Degraded - Communication is established, but the product is operating
in degraded mode and requires service. This condition is typical if a port
or redundant FRU fails. Go to step 2.
Failed - Communication is established, but the product failed and
requires immediate service. Go to step 2.
Status Unknown - Product status is unknown because of a network
communication failure. Go to step 2.
