At power on, with no optical cables attached, ensure that the green and
amber LEDs are both on, indicating that the port is active but that the
connection is invalid. The other possible LED states are as follows:
•
Both off: Not active. Make sure that the GBIC is installed correctly.
•
Solid green: Indicates presence and proper functionality of a GBIC.
•
Green off: Indicates a fault condition (GBIC transmitter fault,
improperly seated GBIC, no GBIC installed, or other failed device). The
port is in bypass mode. This is the normal status for ports without
GBICs installed.
•
Solid amber: Indicates that a loss of signal or poor signal integrity has
put the port in bypass mode. Make sure that a GBIC is installed, that
a cable is attached to the GBIC, and that the other end of the cable is
attached to a KGPSA or HSG80.
•
Amber off (and green on): Indicates that the port and device are fully
operational.

7 Installation Guide.
4.3 Setting Up the HSG80 Array Controller for a Fibre
Channel Cluster
This section covers setting up the HSG80 controller for operation with Tru64
UNIX and the TruCluster products. For more information on installing the
HSG80, see the HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.4 Configuration
and CLI Reference Guide or the HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.5
CLI Reference Guide.
The steps described here apply to both fabric and arbitrated loop
configurations. However, arbitrated loop requires specific settings for the
port topology and AL_PA values. If this is an arbitrated loop configuration,
follow the steps described here, taking note of the difference in the port
topology setting. Then see Section 4.3.1 for additional information.
To set up an HSG80 for TruCluster operation, follow these steps:
1.
If you have not already done so, install the HSG80 controllers into the
RA8000 or ESA1200 storage arrays.
2.
If you use an external cache battery (ECB), ensure that it is connected
to the controller cache modules.
3.
Install the fiber-optic cables between the switch and the HSG80.
