INTERCONNECT ERROR NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A IHS network includes a first switch having first switch ports and a respective visual port indicator associated with each of the first switch ports. A second switch having second switch ports is included in the IHS network, and at least one interconnect connects one of the second switch ports to one of the first switch ports on the first switch. A fabric manager is coupled to the IHS network and operable to communicate with the first switch and the second switch to determine that one of the first switch ports on the first switch is that associated with a fabric interconnect error. The fabric manager then communicates with the first switch to cause the respective visual first switch port indicator that is associated with the one of the first switch ports that is associated with the fabric interconnect error to visually indicate the fabric interconnect error.

1. An interconnect error notification system, comprising:
a processor; and a non-transitory memory coupled to the processor and including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to provide a fabric manager that is operable to:
communicate with a first switch that is part of a fabric that includes a second switch, wherein the first switch include a plurality of ports that are each associated with a respective visual port indicator located on the first switch, and at least one of the plurality of ports on the first switch is connected by an interconnect to the second switch;determine that a fabric interconnect error is associated with a first port of the plurality of ports on the first switch; andcommunicate with the first switch to cause the respective visual port indicator that is associated with the first port and that is located on the first switch to visually indicate the fabric interconnect error.
