Working with the System
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, if an array rebuild is complete, and so on. You can also view
the current status of any of the following: storage, shares, backups, volume snapshots, network,
power, and system details. Status pages like the
System Status
page automatically refresh on a
regular interval and are very helpful for monitoring the progress of certain processes such as
building a RAID.
The following sections provide a detailed explanation of the information that appears on the
System
Status
page.
System Alerts
The
System Alerts
section shows any system messages issued since the last time they were cleared.
Messages can range in severity from informational to immediate action required.
There are three type of alerts that can appear in this area of the
System Status
page:
•
Error:
These types of messages indicate the most severe problem with the NSS. They are
color-coded red and require immediate action. For example, if a disk drive or RAID array is
in a failed condition.
