Virtual Connect (VC) Flex 10/10D - not linked port status
A question from Steven:
**************
At one of our customers we have an enclosure installed with 2 HP Virtual Connect Flex10/10D Modules.
In VCM we see a “Not Linked” status for 4 ports (X5-8) on each module, all other ports are OK.
When we look at the leds on the modules:
- Port status is green (Green = Port is configured and operating as an uplink port -> according to S&I guide)
- Link activity is amber flashing (Amber flashing = 1G activity -> according to S&I guide)
This all looks pretty healthy to me… but still the “Not Linked” status in VCM.
Is there anything that I might have overlooked?
Anything that I can try?
Thanks in advance for the input.

Input from Hoa:
Switch port downlinks to VC were not properly setup/activate from the switch side. Assuming nothing running on the Blades, quickly take standby OA RJ-45 cable or preferably a standard working RJ-45 downlink, feed one to VC and observe its link status under VCM/visual. If linked yet no VC network communication, recheck switch port setup.
And from Dan:
You can get better information on Transceiver status and type and such under:
Devices (bottom left) \ Interconnect Bays \ Bay X \ Uplink Ports tab
Then click Detailed Info/Stats for the port with Not Linked
Then scroll ALL the way to the bottom of the popup window and there is a block of data down there about the transceiver.
