Multiplexed Ports in Port Side-by-Side View
In a Port Side-By-Side configuration, logical links within a multiplexed SAS/SATA port are
displayed separately as a unique column. A multiplexed port displays as two columns, one for
each logical link in the traffic. Multiplexed links display with a “
- 0
” and a “
- 1
” after the Xgig port
name to identify the two logical links within the single port. For example, SAS Port (1,2,1) - 0 and
SAS Port (1,2,1) - 1
indicate the two logical links passing through a single physical port (port 1 on
blade 2).
See Figure 101 for an example of Port Side-By-Side configuration of multiplexed ports. In the
example, assume the multiplexed traffic is on the first and second port on the second blade. The
columns
SAS Port (1,2,1) - 0
and
SAS Port (1,2,2) - 0
show traffic for one of the logical links and
SAS Port (1,2,1) - 1 and SAS Port (1,2,2) - 1 for the other logical link.
Use the MUX button to toggle Port Side-by-Side view between viewing logical link ports
together and physical ports together. The columns SAS Port (1,2,1) - 0 and SAS Port (1,2,1) - 1 ,
which comprise the physical signal for SAS Port (1,2,1), would display next to each other if the
button is used to set the view to physical ports side-by-side. Note that the MUX button has no
effect on configurations other than port side-by-side.
