On the Hardware►Switches page you can add, delete, and monitor your HCP system switches. With the Service role enabled you can add and delete switches. With the Administrator role you can monitor the status of existing switches, but you cannot add or delete them.
For each switch, the page displays the following information:
•Type — The type of component.
•Model — The make and model of the component (for example, Dell® PowerConnect™ 2824).
•IP address — The IP address of the switch.
•Status — The status of the component. Possible values are:
oNormal — The component is available and functioning properly.
oWarning — The component has detected an error. For switches, possible causes include:
–A fan in the switch is not operating normally.
–A sensor in the switch is detecting an abnormal temperature.
–One of two power supplies in the switch is not connected.
–One or more ports in the switch are malfunctioning.
oUnavailable — HCP does not have connectivity to the component.
HCP also reports a component as unavailable if it has not yet contacted the component for status information. To determine whether this is the reason for the unavailable status, refresh the Hardware►Switches page in five minutes.
If the status of a component is unhealthy or if a component remains unavailable for more than five minutes, contact your authorized HCP service provider for help.
