HP Insight Management Agents - Manual (Page 41)

IMPORTANT: The Start or Stop button only displays if you are logged on as an administrator or
an operator, SNMP Sets are enabled, and a SNMP Community string has been defined with 'write'
access. Go back to the Summary page and select login to login as an administrator or operator.
SNMP Sets can be enabled in the HP Insight Management Agents control panel applet on the
SNMP Settings page. A SNMP Community string with 'write' access can be defined in the SNMP
Service Properties Security page located in Computer Management under Services. The drive icon
does not blink in Microsoft Internet Explorer unless Play animations in web pages is enabled in
the Tools menu Internet Options under the Advanced tab in the Multimedia section.
Physical Drive Information
This section provides an overview of all disk drives attached to the controller. Each physical drive
is listed as a separate entry in the Mass Storage submenu. The information displayed next to the
physical drive includes the condition of the drive, the location of the drive and drive size. Select
any of the physical drives from the Mass Storage submenu to display more information about the
drive.
The following information displays:
•
Status—Indicates the status of the physical drive. The possible values are:
OK—The drive is functioning properly. ◦
◦ Failed—The drive is no longer operating and should be replaced.
◦ Predictive Failure—The physical drive has a predictive failure error and should be replaced.
◦ Erasing—The physical drive is currently being erased and in an offline state.
◦ Erase Done—The erase operation has completed and the physical drive is in an offline
state.
◦ Erase Queued—An erase operation is currently queued for this physical drive.
◦ Solid State Disk Wear Out—The solid state drive has a S.M.A.R.T wear error and is
approaching the maximum usage limit for writes (wear out). The solid state drive should
be replaced as soon as possible.
◦ Not Authenticated—The physical drive could not be authenticated as a genuine HP hard
drive. The array controller will no longer control the drive LEDs. Please replace the hard
drive with a genuine HP hard drive.
◦ Unknown—The physical drive cannot be monitored at this time. This may be due to:
– The device driver for this drive may have been unloaded.
– The logical drive may have failed and been deactivated by the operating system. In
this case, the last known status was OK.
– The Storage Agents do not recognize the drive. You may need to upgrade your
software.
•
Action—Displays the action that is required for this device. The following values are valid:
Replace Drive—Replace this drive. If the drive condition is Failed, check the Predictive
Indicators, Problem Indicators, and Failure Indicators for a possible cause of the failure. ◦
◦ Replace S.M.A.R.T. Drive—The S.M.A.R.T. hard drive predicts imminent failure. Schedule
replacement of the drive before an actual failure occurs.
◦ No Action Required—The drive is operating normally and no action is required.
