Status Indicators & System Alerts
The PixelStor 5000 is equipped with a full complement of status indicators and system alerts.
System Health Alert -
PixelStor 5000 has a general alert that enables an administrator to
identify an unhealthy system in a rack of systems. When a PixelStor 5000 system encounters
operational problems with any hardware component all of the red LEDs on the hard drives
flash in sequence to identify the unhealthy system in a rack.
System Log Notifications
–
PixelStor 5000 also captures status and health alerts in the
system log. These alerts are viewable by the administrator in the PixelStor Storage Manager.
The alerts can be viewed through the “System Log” or “System Health Alert” sub-menus. For
proactive notification, the administrator can set up to 8 email addresses to receive system log
notifications.
Status Indicators (LEDs)
- PixelStor 5000 has multi-color LEDs located on all the removable
modules. These provide system administrators visual cues to the status of all major
components. The LEDs are located on:
Controllers
Ethernet Interface Ports
Power Supplies
Hard Drives
When the system is started for the first time or in cases when the system is
improperly shutdown, the system waits 2 minutes to initialize and run a full system
check. If initialization sequence is interrupted, the process starts over from the
beginning. Please allow the system to finish its initialization sequence to avoid
system startup delays.
