Link Incident Alerts
A link incident is a problem detected on a fiber optic link, like the loss of light,
invalid sequences and other problems. When a problem occurs, a LIN alert is sent
to the Link Incident Log in the Director Product Manager. LIN alerts warn you
that there is a link incident being detected through a port connection that may
require operator intervention to correct.
If LIN alerts are enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box and a link
incident has occurred, a yellow triangle (attention indicator) displays by the port
connector in the Hardware View and Port Card View and in the Alert column
in the Port List View. When you double-click the port in the Port Card View
and Port List View with the yellow triangle displays the Port Properties dialog
box.
If LIN alerts have been enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, the
Port Properties dialog box contains a short description of the latest incident in
the Link Incident field. Or, if there are no active incidents,
None
displays. The
system writes all link incidents to the Link Incident Log.
You will receive e-mail notification of LIN alerts if you enable LIN alerts for a
port in the Configure Ports dialog box, configure e-mail notification through the
HAFM application, and enable E-Mail Notification through the Maintenance
menu.
Note:
The e-mail notification of LIN alerts is available to all users; no user rights are
imposed.
Although you can clear the attention indicator in the Hardware View and the
alert description in the Port Properties dialog box manually, they may also be
cleared by actions outside of your control: such as on HAFM server reboot.
You can clear the link incident indicator in the Hardware View and the
description in the Link Incident field manually. To manually clear the attention
indicator (yellow triangle), right-click the port with the yellow triangle and choose
Clear Link Incident Alerts from the menu. In the Clear Link Incident Alerts
dialog box, choose the appropriate option and click OK. Be aware that clearing
the incident indicator clears it for everyone using the system. If there are no link
incident alerts enabled for a port, no actions occur.
