View OR directors

Unisphere supports the display of OR director information.

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.
    iSCSI Indicates if port is iSCSI.
    NVMe/TCP Indicates if port is NVMe TCP.
    RDF FC Indicates if port is SRDF FC.
    RDF GIGE Indicates if port is SRDF GIGE.
    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 display in the Details tab:
    Director Director name.
    Port Port ID.
    Type Type.
    Director Status Director status.
    Port Status Indicates whether the port is online or offline.
    Director Connection Status Indicates if the director is connected.
    Protocols Number of associated protocols. Clicking the number next to Protocols displays information about the protocol properties and performance of the protocols.
    Negotiated Speed (Gb/sec) Negotiated speed in gigabits per second.
    Max Speed (Gb/sec) Maximum speed in gigabits per second.
    Volumes Number of associated volumes. Clicking the number next to Volumes displays information about the properties of the volumes.
    WWN WWN
    Port Topology Port topology.
    Fibre Channel Loop ID Fibre channel loop ID.
    Cloud Port Indication if port is a cloud port.
    MAC Address MAC address
    IP Interfaces Number of IP interfaces. Clicking the number next to IP Interfaces displays the list of IP interfaces.
    NVMe/TCP Endpoints Number of attached NVMe/TCP endpoints. Clicking the number next to NVMe/TCP Endpoints displays the list of NVMe/TCP endpoints.
    iSCSI Endpoints Number of attached iSCSI endpoints. Clicking the number next to iSCSI Endpoints displays the list of iSCSI endpoints.
    IPv4 Address IPv4 Address
    IPv6 Address IPv6 Address
    IPv6 Prefix IPv6 Prefix
    RDF Groups Number of SRDF groups. Clicking the number next to RDF Groups displays the list of SRDF groups.
    RDF Software Compression Support Indicates if SRDF software compression is supported.
    RDF Hardware Compression Support Indicates if SRDF hardware compression is supported.
    Synchronous I/O Percent Synchronous I/O percent
    Asynchronous I/O Percent Asynchronous I/O percent
    Copy I/O Percent Copy I/O percent

    Performance information is also displayed in the Performance tab.
