Troubleshooting: Your Storage Array Software

273

In the Table view, every managed storage array is listed once, regardless of the

number of attachments it has in the Tree view. After the storage array is

contacted by MDSM, an icon representing its hardware status is displayed.

Hardware status can be Optimal, Needs Attention, or Fixing. If, however, all

of the network management connections from the storage management

station to the storage array shown in the Tree view are Unresponsive, the

storage array status is represented as Unresponsive.
In the EMW Status Bar and the AMW Status Bar, the icons also have these

behaviors:

• Hold the mouse over the icon in the EMW Status Bar and the AMW

Status Bar to display a tooltip with a brief description of the status.

• The icons for the Needs Attention status and Unresponsive status are

displayed in EMW Status Bar and the AMW Status Bar if there are

discovered storage arrays with either condition.

The EMW Tree view has additional status icons that are shown in the

following table.

Status Icon

Description

Unsupported Alerts

with a Needs

Upgrade Status

Setting an alert on a s storage array with a Needs

Upgrade status is not supported. In this case, the

storage array shows both a Needs Upgrade status

and an Unsupported Alerts icon in the Tree view.

The Unsupported Alerts icon indicates that the

storage array cannot be monitored.

Alert Set

If you installed the Event Monitor with MDSM,

and if you have set alerts, the Alert Set icon is

displayed next to the storage array status in the

Tree view for which the alerts are set.

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 fir 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 is displayed next to the parent node in the

tree view.
