EonStor S12F-R1432/G1433 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
This prepares the RAID subsystem to be safely powered
down.
Step 3.
Turn off the power.
Power off the subsystem using the power switch on each
PSU. Once the subsystem is powered down, other
devices/enclosures connected to the subsystem can be
sequentially powered down.
4.3 System
Monitoring
Overview
The S12F subsystem is equipped with a variety of self-monitoring
features that help keep subsystem managers informed of the
subsystem operational status. These monitoring features provide vital
feedbacks to help you maintain the operational integrity. Prompt
response to warnings and notifications is necessary and helps
ensure the longevity of the subsystem.
Self-monitoring features include:
•
Firmware (FW)
: The RAID controller(s) come with preinstalled
firmware, which can be accessed using either a PC hyper-
terminal connected through the COM ports or the LCD keypad
panel. Device status information can be obtained from the
embedded firmware utility. Firmware functionalities are fully
described in the
Firmware Operation Manual
that came with
your subsystem.
•
SANWatch:
SANWatch is a fully integrated, Java-based,
management suite with Graphical User Interface (GUI). Coming
with the subsystem, it can be used not only to monitor and
manage the subsystems over standard TCP/IP but to provide
data protection capabilities, such as snapshot and multi-pathing.
The Ethernet port provides access to your array from a
management computer over LAN/WAN.
The SANWatch Enclosure View is customized to display a direct
representation of subsystem components via its graphical
interface. SANWatch’s graphical content panel allows you to
quickly determine the operational status of all components.
Please refer to the
SANWatch User’s Manual
for further details.
•
LEDs
: Device-status-indicating LEDs are located on all active
components. The LEDs inform you of the integrity of a given
component or a given link. You should become familiar with the
different LEDs that are present on the subsystem and be aware
of their functions. (See
Section 4.4
