Frames

The Frames node identifies the frames managed by this HMC.

Frames typically have dual Bulk Power Controllers (BPCs), however only one BPC is displayed as both BPCs share the same machine type, model, and serial number and function as redundant peers.

The Frames work pane table includes the following attributes:

Name

Displays the defined name of the Frame.

Status

Displays the status of the frame object. A frame is in an unacceptable state when it is in No Connection or Incomplete state. When either of these conditions occurs, a red X is displayed in the status cells next to the status text which identifies the state. Clicking on either the X or the status text opens information describing the unacceptable state and potential remedies.

Frame Number

Displays the number of the managed frame. You can modify the number.

Connection Status

Displays connection status of the frame (side A and B).
