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.
    Enabled Protocol Indicates the protocol setting (SCSI FC, iSCSI, NVMe/FC, NVMe/TCP, RDF FC, or RDF GIGE).
    Port Type Indicates if the port type is Fibre or GigE.
    Speed GB/sec Indicates negotiated speed.
    Alerts Director alert status, as indicated by icon color:
    • Fatal icon One or more fatal alerts
    • Critical icon One or more critical alerts, with none higher
    • Warning icon One or more warning alerts, with none higher
    • Infromation icon One or more informational alerts, with none higher
    • No alerts icon 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 Details icon.
