The front panel LEDs now indicate when a node is down.
Additional indicator LED status conditions
A few LED status conditions are not covered in the definition tables in the /etc/alertd/alert.conf
file.
Yellow intermittent Status LED indicator
A yellow intermittent Status LED indicates that the unit is not under host computer control. This might be
due to the host being halted or due to a software or hardware problem that interferes with the host’s control
of the LED.
Green/Yellow solid Status LED indicator
When the Status LED indicator is solid yellow or green, it indicates that the system is in a Standby state
(yellow) or an Active state (green). It displays solid green if the unit is Standalone or if it is the Active unit
of a redundant system configuration. It displays yellow if the unit is the Standby member of a redundant
system configuration.
Platform Interfaces
You can perform configuration tasks such as displaying interface status and settings and setting the media
type using the Traffic Management Shell (tmsh).
