    • D
      Daniel WestAug 20, 2025
      To restore the switch configuration on your HP Switch, establish communications with the switch using Telnet by entering 'telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' or 'telnet switchname' on the command line. When a Telnet window opens, enter the account name and password (default is admin and password respectively). Open an admin session using 'SN6000 $> admin start'. Then, restore the configuration using 'SN6000 (admin) $> config restore'. If a configuration does not exist, enter the config backup CLI command, then enter the config restore command.

    What to do if I have excessive port errors on my HP StorageWorks SN6000?
    • B
      branchjessicaAug 23, 2025
      If you're seeing excessive port errors on your HP Switch, first check the event browser to see if these errors are disabling the port. If so, examine the alarm configuration using the `show config threshold CLI` command to ensure the thresholds and sample window are correctly configured. If the configuration is correct, reset the port and perform an external port loopback test to validate the port and the SFP. If the port fails the test, replace the SFP and repeat the test. If it still fails, contact your authorized maintenance provider. If the port passes the test, replace the Fibre Channel port cable. Finally, inspect the connected device and its HBA to ensure they are working correctly.

      If your HP Switch is showing an over-temperature blink pattern, start by checking the switch vents to make sure they are clear of any obstructions. If the vents are clear and the problem continues, consider the ambient air temperature around the switch and ensure there is adequate clearance. If the condition persists after these checks, power down the switch and contact your authorized maintenance provider.

      If your HP Switch shows excessive port errors, review the event browser to see if these errors are disabling the port. Check for messages about monitored error types. Examine the alarm configuration for the associated error using the show config threshold CLI command to ensure the thresholds and sample window are correct. If the thresholds are correct, reset the port and perform an external port loopback test to validate the port and the SFP. If the port fails the test, replace the SFP and repeat the test. If the port passes the test, replace the Fibre Channel port cable. If the problem persists, inspect the device connected to the affected port to ensure it and its HBA are working correctly. Make repairs and corrections as needed.

      If your HP Switch is showing an over-temperature blink pattern, first inspect the switch vents to ensure the intake and exhaust vents are clear of any obstructions. If the vents are clear, consider the ambient air temperature near the switch and ensure there is adequate clearance around the switch. Make necessary corrections to improve ventilation. If the condition persists, power down the switch.
