Monitoring PFR500/E status
LEDs on PFR500/E disk drive modules and FRUs are used to indicate status and error
conditions. The disk drive LEDs are visible from the front, and other status LEDS are
visible from the rear panel.
You can also monitor the PFR500/E using Grass Valley Group’s NetCentral
software. Enabled by SNMP, NetCentral can continuously monitor the system and
send notifications if there is a problem. Refer to the Media Area Network Instruction
Manual, or Profile XP Service Manual for more information on monitoring the
PFR500 with NetCentral. These documents are available on the Grass Valley Group
web site.
Interpreting drive LED displays
The disk drive LEDs and the 7-segment display on the back of the RAID Controllers
are used to indicate system status. The following table describes how to interpret the
the disk drive LED behavior and rear panel 7-segment display for various conditions.
If a non-redundant FRU fails in a PFR 500, the system may be inoperable while you
replace the FRU. If a redundant FRU fails, high availability will be compromised until
you replace the faulty FRU.
