Description

Unresponsive

The storage management station cannot communicate with the
storage array or one RAID controller module or both RAID
controller modules in the storage array.

Fixing Status

A Needs Attention status has been corrected and the managed
storage array is currently transitioning to an Optimal state.

Unsupported

The node is currently not supported by this version of MD Storage
Manager.

Software Unsupported

The storage array is running a level of software that is no longer
supported by the MD Storage Manager.

In the Table view, every managed storage array is listed once, regardless of the number of attachments it has in the
Tree view. After the storage array has been contacted by the MD Storage Manager, an icon representing its hardware
status is displayed. Hardware status can be Optimal, Needs Attention, or Fixing. If, however, all of the network
management connections from the storage management station to the storage array shown in the Tree view are
Unresponsive, the storage array status is represented as Unresponsive.
In the EMW Status Bar and the AMW Status Bar, the icons also have these behaviors:

Hold the mouse over the icon in the EMW Status Bar and the AMW Status Bar to show a tooltip with a brief

description of the status.

The icons for the Needs Attention status and Unresponsive status are displayed in the EMW Status Bar and the

AMW Status Bar if there are discovered storage arrays with either condition.

The EMW Tree view has additional status icons that are shown in the following table.

Description

Unsupported Alerts with a Needs
Upgrade Status

Setting an alert on a storage array
with a Needs Upgrade status is not
supported. In this case, the storage
array shows both a Needs Upgrade
status and an Unsupported Alerts icon
in the Tree view. The Unsupported
Alerts icon indicates that the storage
array cannot be monitored.

Alert Set

You can set alerts at any of the nodes
in the Tree view. Setting an alert at a
parent node level, such as at a host
level, sets alert for any child nodes. If
you set an alert at a parent node level
and any of the in-band storage array
child nodes have a Needs Upgrade
status, the Alert Disables status icon
is displayed next to the parent node in
the tree view.
