1. Status indicator
•
If the Status indicator light is steady green, the library currently has no events in an Open
state.
•
If the Status indicator light is flashing amber, at least one of the six subsystems has an event
in an Open state.
When the library detects an issue, it creates an event for it. A event includes the following types
of information:
•
Details about the issue.
•
Reports that are associated with the event.
•
A repair page that provides corrective actions.
In most cases, events isolate field replaceable units (FRUs) that you must service or replace.
Events can indicate failures or other serious problems, but they also can indicate warning conditions
that you should investigate or other helpful information. For example, opening the library access
door or changing the library configuration causes the library to create an event, but these situations
would not indicate serious problems. However, you should investigate the events.
The library assigns a severity level to each event that it creates and notifies users of the event.
describes possible severity levels for events.
Table 36 Severity levels assigned to events
Description
Severity Level
Indicates that a failure has occurred or a different serious
condition exists within a library subsystem that requires
1 (Failed)
immediate corrective action. In most cases, a hardware
component is no longer functioning at an acceptable level
or has failed. Typical library operations are either
impossible or highly unreliable.
Examples of failure situations include a FRU that is not
functioning, a temperature threshold that has been reached
that causes unreliable operations, or a partition that the
library has automatically taken offline.
Indicates that a degraded condition exists within a library
subsystem that impacts system performance or redundancy.
2 (Degraded)
Typical library operations can continue without immediate
corrective action, but an administrator should investigate
the condition and correct the problem soon.
