It's intentional and caused by the Service Processor periodically collecting status of the array. As part of that process it calls checkhealth which toggles the ports online/offline to check their status before the data is sent home to HP.
Confirmed. Its part of the near hourly heath check of the standby ethernet port. I can confirm this happens on our 7200 Inserv 3.1.2, but it does not happen with our T-800 running 2.3.1 or 3.1.1
This is probably what he is seeing in his switch logs every hour +/- 5 minutes:
