You can configure when the icons and colors change to accommodate your network environment. For

example, a slow or busy network may need longer delays before updating the icons or colors.

Select

File, Options. On the Configuration tab, you will see Site Monitor and Connection

Monitor. The Site Monitor fields control the icons on the left pane of the Management Console

and the icons on the right pane when a group is highlighted in the left pane. The

Connection

Monitor

field controls the display when a server is highlighted in the left pane. These two

separate monitoring capabilities allow for flexible monitoring.

Site Monitor, specify Check Status Interval to identify the number of seconds between

requests sent from the Management Console to the servers in order to update the display. Valid

values are between

and

3600

. The default setting is

30

seconds.

lost and updates the icons. Valid values are between

1

and

100

Connection Monitor, specify Missed Status Responses to identify the number of

responses from a server that can be missed before the Management Console considers

in the right

pane when a

server is

highlighted in

the left pane

A green checkmark on a connection indicates the connection is

working properly.
A red X on a connection indicates a connection error. For example, an

error may be caused by broken transmission or pending replication.

To determine the exact problem, locate the connection data item that

appears in red.

White

If the connection background is white, the Management Console and

the source are communicating.

Gray

If the connection background is gray, the Management Console and

the source are no longer communicating. The connection data stops

updating once communications have stopped. Once communications

have been reestablished, the connection background will change

back to white.

Left pane icon

An icon with yellow and blue servers indicates a server that is working

properly.
A red X on a server icon indicates the Management Console cannot

communicate with that server or that is a problem with one of the

server’s connections. If the connection background is gray, it is a

communication issue. If the connection also has a red X, it is a

connection issue.
A red tree view (folder structure) on a server icon indicates a restore

is required because of a failover.
A black X on a server icon indicates the server is not running Storage

Mirroring.

NOTE:

If the

Site Monitor and Connection Monitor settings are different, at times, the

icons and color may not be synchronized between the left and right panes.
