Note:
A power LED is also at the rear of the node.
Select button
Use the select button to select an item from a menu.
The select button and navigation buttons help you to navigate and select menu
and boot options, and start a service panel test. The select button is located on the
front panel of the SAN Volume Controller, near the navigation buttons.
Node identification label
The node identification label on the front panel displays a six-digit node
identification number. Sometimes this number is called the panel name or front
panel ID.
The node identification label is the six-digit number that is input to the
svctask
addnode
command. It is readable by system software and is used by configuration
and service software as a node identifier. The node identification number can also
be displayed on the front-panel display when
node
is selected from the menu.
If the service controller assembly front panel is replaced, the configuration and
service software displays the number that is printed on the front of the
replacement panel. Future error reports contain the new number. No cluster
reconfiguration is necessary when the front panel is replaced.
Error LED
Critical faults on the service controller are indicated through the amber error LED.
The error LED has the following two states:
OFF
The service controller is functioning correctly.
ON
A critical service-controller failure was detected and you must replace the
service controller.
