Troubleshooting: Your Storage Array Software
To launch the AMW, perform one of these actions:
• On the Devices tab, in either the Tree view or the Table view, double-click
a storage array. Alternatively, you can right-click a storage array and select
Manage Storage Array from the pop-up menu.
• On the
Setup tab, select Manage a Storage Array.
After the AMW is displayed, select the Physical tab to see the components in
the storage array. A component that has a problem is indicated by a status
icon.
The status icons indicate the status of the components that comprise the
storage array. Also, the Recovery Guru option provides a detailed explanation
of the conditions and the applicable steps to remedy any Needs Attention
status. For more information, see "Recovery Guru" on page 278.
For the status of a storage array, the icons shown in the following table are
used in the Tree view, the Table view, and both the EMW Status Bar and the
AMW Status Bar.
