Adapter Status Area Field Definitions
State - The current operational state of the HBA: “Up” or “Down”.
Link Status - The current link status between the HBA and the fabric. There are several possible states:
• The “Operational” state indicates that the HBA is connected to the network and operating
normally.
• All other states indicate that the HBA is not connected to the network. Green HBA icons with red
descriptive text indicate that the HBA is offline. These offline states are:
• “User offline” - The HBA is down or not connected to the network.
• “Bypassed” - the HBA is in Fibre Channel discovery mode.
• “Diagnostic Mode” - The HBA is controlled by a diagnostic program.
• “Link Down” - There is no access to the network.
• “Port Error” - The HBA is in an unknown state; try resetting it.
• “Loopback” -an FC-1 mode in which information passed to the FC-1 transmitter is
shunted directly to the FC-1 Receiver. When a FC interface is in loopback mode, the
loopback signal overrides any external signal detected by the receiver.
• “Unknown” -The HBA is offline for an unknown reason.
• Link Speed - The link speed of the HBA in gigabits per second.
