esconLinkStatus

Module: IBMESCON-MIB

OID (symbolic): IBMESCON-MIB::esconLinkStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.5.17.2.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Gives the status of the link:

hlpNotEstab = Host Logical Path not established hlpEstab = Host Logical Path established hlpError = Host Logical Path error

What is esconLinkStatus?

This enumerated object reports whether the Host Logical Path for an ESCON link is not established, established, or in an error state. Admins check this to determine whether a fiber-level connection has actually progressed to a working logical session with the host, since the fiber can be lit while the logical path still fails. For example, a value of hlpError(3) despite the fiber status showing light-on would tell the admin the physical connection is fine but the logical session negotiation is failing.
