# View OR directors

Unisphere supports the display of OR director information.

## Prerequisites

See Roles and associated permissions to determine the user roles that can perform this task.

## About this task

For a storage system running PowerMaxOS 10 (6079), a new OR emulation has been added to replace all previous Open System Front End and RDF emulations (see Understanding OR Directors). The system hardware view has an OR DIRECTORS tab, a BE DIRECTORS tab, an EF DIRECTORS tab, and an EM DIRECTORS tab.

## Steps

1. Select a storage system running PowerMaxOS 10 (6079).
2. Select System > Hardware.
3. Click the OR Directors tab.

   The OR Directors list view opens. A filtered list view is displayed. Virtual ports are filtered out of the view. The following properties display (unfiltered view):

   Director | Director name.
   Port | Port number.
   Director Status | Director status.
   Port Status | Indicates whether the port is online or offline.
   SCSI FC | Indicates if port is SCSI FC - green tick for enabled and grey tick for capable but not enabled.
   iSCSI | Indicates if port is iSCSI - green tick for enabled and grey tick for capable but not enabled.
   NVMe/FC | Indicates if port is NVMe FC - green tick for enabled and grey tick for capable but not enabled.
   NVMe/TCP | Indicates if port is NVMe TCP - green tick for enabled and grey tick for capable but not enabled.
   RDF FC | Indicates if port is SRDF FC- green tick for enabled and grey tick for capable but not enabled.
   RDF GIGE | Indicates if port is SRDF GIGE - green tick for enabled and grey tick for capable but not enabled.
   Speed GB/sec | Indicates negotiated speed.
   Alerts | Director alert status, as indicated by icon color: One or more fatal alerts One or more critical alerts, with none higher One or more warning alerts, with none higher One or more informational alerts, with none higher No alerts
   Virtual | Indicates if the port is virtual.
   Port ID | Port ID.

   To see more information about the details and performance of a director, select a director and click . The properties that are displayed depend on the protocols that are enabled on the director. Some of the following properties and controls are environment-specific and therefore may appear in a different order or not at all.

   Director | Director name.
   Port | Port ID.
   Type | Type.
   Director Status | Director status.
   Port Status | Indicates whether the port is online or offline.
