For network devices, only "normal" and "unknown" are displayed.

11.3 Addressing Resource Failures

This section explains how to address problems like hardware failures that occur in a system.

Basic Procedure

The following procedure is used to confirm and resolve problems using the ROR console:

1.

Confirm the Existence of a Problem

For the confirmation method, refer to "

11.2 Resource Status

" and "A.3 Status Panel" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure

Administrators (Resource Management) CE".

2.

Check the Event Log

Use the event log to check the device where the error occurred and the content of the event.
In some cases, a single problem can cause a series of events, so search back through past events to find events with dates that are
close together.

3.

Check the Status of Resources

From the resource tree, open the resource where the problem occurred and look for any affected chassis, physical servers, LAN
switches, physical OSs, VM hosts, or VM guests.
If Auto-Recovery has been enabled for a physical OS or VM host, it will be automatically switched over with a spare server. If
Auto-Recovery has not been enabled, server switchover can still be performed manually as long as a spare server has been designated.

For server switchover, refer to "4.2 Switchover" in the "Operation Guide VE".

4.

Perform Detailed Investigation and Recovery

From the [Resource Details] tab of the failed resource, launch the external management software to investigate the precise cause of
the problem.
When no management software is available, confirm with the maintenance staff of the failed resource to investigate the problem.
Once this is done, perform the necessary maintenance work on any faulty hardware identified.
If a server hardware failure requires replacing a managed server, carry out the replacement operation as described in "

9.3.2 Replacing

Servers

".

5.

Perform Post-recovery Verification

Following recovery, confirm that there are no more icons indicating problems on the ROR console.

11.4 Monitoring Networks

This section explains detecting changes in states of network devices which are being monitored to perform automatic network settings for
them.

Network monitoring of this product involves alive monitoring, state monitoring, and SNMP trap monitoring of network devices.

For monitoring errors such as port trouble of network devices, please use network management software.

An infrastructure administrator recognizes changing state of a network device in any of the following cases.

-

Report of an error from another administrator or user

-

Detection of change in state when checking the system using the ROR console

-

The event logs showing a change in the statuses of ports of network devices are output.
If a port status change on a registered network device is detected, the message number 22784 will be output.
If the port status is "down" or "unknown" and that change was not caused by the infrastructure administrator, it indicates a problem
with the network device. Check the network device.

-

Status icons of resources on the network device tree are changed to a status other than normal
