Monitoring the Status of the RA3000

Command Console provides two ways to monitor your storage subsystem
visually on the computer’s screen or remotely using pagers.

Icons in the Navigation and Storage windows show the status of host systems,
storage subsystems, devices, and controllers. In addition, an Environmental
Monitoring Unit (EMU) indicator in the lower right corner summarizes the
condition of the power supply, Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS), fan,
temperature, and expansion cabinets.

If you are connected locally to your RA3000, you must manually refresh the
screen to check system status. Refresh the screen from the Storage window’s
View menu by selecting Refresh.

Pager Notification Provides Updates of Status

You can configure Command Console so that it notifies you by a page when a
critical event occurs on one of your subsystems. This function works with
alphanumeric and numeric pagers. You can configure this function so that it
notifies certain people at different times. For more information on how to set
up pager notification see “ Setting up Pager Notification” in this chapter.

Navigation Window Icons Show System Status

The icons in the Navigation window change to show system status. For
example, if a device fails in a storage system connected to a controller on a
system, the system folder will indicate the failure. A yellow exclamation mark
indicates a warning condition and a red X indicates failure.

Storage Window Icons Show Device, Controller,
and Virtual Disk Status

The Storage window provides detailed information in both physical and
logical views of an individual storage subsystem in the Storage window. In
each view, icons represent device and virtual disk states. These icons change
to indicate status. A red X through a device indicates device failure.
