Description

Upgrade status, the Alert Disables
status icon is displayed next to
the parent node in the tree view.

Setting an Alert at the Parent
Node Level

You can set alerts at any of the
nodes in the Tree view. Setting an
alert at a parent node level, such
as at a host level, sets alert for
any child nodes. If you set an
alert at a parent node level and
any of the in-band storage array
child nodes have a Needs
Upgrade status, the Alert Disables
status icon appears next to the
parent node in the tree view.

Adding a Storage Array

The Contacting Storage Array
icon is shown in the Tree view
and Table view until the current
status of each managed storage
array is known.
The Contacting Storage Array

icon is shown in the EMW Status

Bar and the AMW Status Bar and

the tooltip shows Contacting

Storage arrays.
As each storage array is

contacted, its current status is

obtained and shown in the Tree

view and Table view. The

applicable statuses are the

Optimal, Needs Attention, Fixing,

or Unresponsive.

Adding a Storage Array OK

No problems were encountered
while adding the storage array.
The MD Storage Manager

continues to check for any status

change events.

Adding a Storage Array Error

Displayed only when an error
occurs.

In the Tree view, icons can appear in a string to convey more information. For example, the following
string means that the storage array is optimal, an alert is set for the storage array, and firmware is available

for download.

NOTE: The MD Storage Manager may take a few minutes to update a status change to
Unresponsive or from Unresponsive. A status change from or to Unresponsive depends on the
network link to the storage array. All other status change updates faster.
