Identifying and diagnosing loss of signal for a switch port 79
Monitoring Your Datacenter
The alert indicates that the switch port is experiencing 10,303 signal losses within a
15-minute interval. (To determine the interval, the administrator right-clicks the alert
and selects Alert > Details on the Actions tab or the Alert Definition dialog box, the
schedule is every 15 minutes). This level of performance will severely affect
communications between any devices that use the port. The storage administrator
must take action immediately.
Acknowledging the alert
Following the procedures that the storage administrator established during the
planning stage of the Ionix ControlCenter implementation, the administrator first
acknowledges the alert to indicate to the rest of the IT staff that someone is
addressing the issue.
To acknowledge the alert, the administrator:
1. Right-clicks the alert in the Alerts view and selects Acknowledge (Figure 53).
