Director Connection Status

[kbhatt_ie]

Hi, 

What does Director Connection Status means "Yes" here.

I need to find out if the 2 ports on this Director are physically connected to switch and are online.  Does the status of Yes means they are connected. As I have gone through all the ports of all switches and I can't find them.

Thanks

thanks dynamox , i take it , when you say 14D:1 has been connected to SAN fabric meaning only 14D:1 is actually online on Switch and logged in with flogi , gren port etc ?
