Managing the System
The NSS3000 lets you view status details from two locations: the LCD panel on
the front of the chassis, or from the
Configuration Interface
Configuration Interface” on page 2
. The LCD lets you view some of the status
information such as the hostname, IP address, netmask system alerts, RAID status,
volume status, cable diagnostics, time and date, firmware version and firmware
upgrade status, and bootup and shutdown status.
The
System
Status
page provides an overview of the current operating condition
of the NSS. For example, you can view system alert messages such as if a disk
drive is failing or has failed, if a volume is approaching its full capacity, and if an
array rebuild is complete. You can also view the current status of any of the
following: storage, shares, backups, network, power, and system details. Status
pages like the
System
Status
page automatically refresh on a regular interval and
are helpful for monitoring the progress of certain processes such as building
a RAID.
