Part number: This field represents the part number of the logical hardware
resource.
Resource name: The resource name is the symbolic name of the logical hardware
resource. The resource name was either created by the system when the hardware
was first sensed, or was updated to a new value by a user on a change screen. The
logical hardware resource name is autonomous from the packaging hardware
resource name.
HSL OptiConnect Status: This field represents the status for networking. To be
network capable a loop must contain at least two systems. It may also contain I/O
towers. There are five possible values for this field:
Not Available
The loop contains hardware which is not network capable.
Enabled
This logical partition is participating in the HSL OptiConnect system area
network on this loop.
Enabling
The user selected option 1 on this resource and the system is performing
the function.
Disabled
This logical partition is not participating in the HSL OptiConnect system
area network on this loop.
Disabling
The user selected option 3 on this resource and the system is performing
the function.
Mode: The mode field indicates whether or not the ownership of this resource
can be switched to another server. The possible values are Private or Switchable.
Private indicates that the ownership of this resource cannot be changed. Switchable
indicates that the ownership of this resource is changeable.
Leading port to next resource: The leading port connects to the next resource in
the loop. This field shows the port number to which another resource in the loop is
connected. However, the loop is redundant so indicating direction is arbitrary. This
field will be blank if the link is an internal link.
Trailing port from previous resource: The trailing port connects to the previous
resource in the loop. This field shows the port number to which another resource
in the loop is connected. However, the loop is redundant so indicating direction is
arbitrary. This field will be blank if the link is an internal link.
Link status: Current status of the link as reported by the hardware. Possible
values for status are as follows:
Unknown
The system cannot determine status of the resource. A resource may be
non-reporting or unable to communicate its status.
Operational
The link is operating normally.
Failed The link is broken, disconnected, or does not exist. This also may mean
that the resource to which the link is connected may have failed or is
powered off.
