Switch status states
Next to each switch in the Systems And Devices navigation tree, one of the following status values
may be displayed:
Degraded
Displayed in dual-domain switch deployments. The partner switch is present
but is not communicating. For example, if one switch experiences a failure,
the status of the still-functioning partner switch may be Degraded.
Mismatch Displayed in dual-domain switch deployments, this is displayed when the
system detects different firmware versions installed on the paired switches.
This is also displayed when data such as zone records, enclosure serial
number, or bay number do not match.
Not Configured Displayed in single-switch deployments. This is displayed next to a
newly-installed switch.
Not Redundant Displayed in single-switch deployments. The switch is fully operational and
Active. For example, if one switch experiences a failure, the status of the
still-functioning partner switch may be Not Redundant.
Unknown Displayed in both single-switch and dual-domain switch deployments. This
is displayed when the current state can not be determined.
VSM Active Displayed in dual-domain switch deployments. The switch is fully operational
and Active.
VSM Passive Displayed in dual-domain switch deployments. This is displayed next to
one of the switches in a pair, while the VSM Active is displayed next to the
partner switch. This switch may automatically become VSM Degraded or
Not Redundant if the partner switch experiences a failure.
