Information condition
See
Appendix B: EMU Generated Condition Reports
for definitions of individual condition reports.
When the
audible alarm
is not muted or disabled, each condition generates a unique audible alarm as
described in
.
Using the condition reporting feature
The EMU reports errors to you by changing the alphanumeric display to Er and sounding the
audible
alarm
. A condition report has precedence over all other displays.
NOTE:
An error always generates a condition report. Not all condition reports are generated by errors.
Condition report terminology
Each EMU detected condition generates a condition report containing the following information:
•
Element type (et)
•
Element number (en)
•
Error code (ec)
Each condition report:
•
Appears on the EMU alphanumeric display.
•
Sounds the
audible alarm
.
•
Is stored in the error queue.
•
Is provided to the HSV110 controller for processing and display by Command View EVA.
The condition types, condition reports, and the interaction between conditions are defined in the
following sections.
UNRECOVERABLE condition
This is the most severe condition. The condition occurs when one or more enclosure elements fail and
disable some enclosure functions. The enclosure may be incapable of correcting or bypassing the
failure and require repairs to correct the error.
NOTE:
To maintain data integrity, HP recommends implementing corrective action immediately for an
UNRECOVERABLE condition.
This type of condition requires immediate corrective action by you.
An UNRECOVERABLE condition establishes the following conditions:
•
This condition has precedence over CRITICAL and NONCRITICAL errors.
•
This condition has precedence over the INFORMATION condition.
•
The
audible alarm
is On continuously, as shown in
CRITICAL condition
A CRITICAL condition is less severe than an UNRECOVERABLE condition. This condition occurs when
one or more elements inside the enclosure have failed or are operating outside of their specifications.
The failure of the element makes continued normal operation of at least some elements in the enclosure
impossible. Other elements within the enclosure may be able to continue normal operations.
Prompt corrective action to prevent system degradation is recommended.
