Chapter 4
Managing and Monitoring
In this chapter you will find information about using the enclosure’s onboard
monitoring systems and the procedures to update the controller firmware.
The interface to the enclosure’s monitoring system and firmware programs is
provided through a VT-100 terminal (or emulation) connected to the RAID
Controller Service port. If you are using StorView, refer to the StorView Storage
Management software guide for details on the GUI-based software monitoring.
You should monitor your storage system regularly to ensure that the disk drives,
controller, arrays, and enclosure components are working properly. Use the
Status Indicator LEDs, power supply LEDs, Drive LEDs, and the software to
monitor the enclosure components, fan status, disk drive status, controller status,
and arrays.
Enclosure Component Monitoring
This section provides an explanation of the notifications provided by the front
bezel LEDs and an explanation of the One-Touch Annunciation configuration
display system.
As part of the monitoring system, an audible alarm works in conjunction with the
front bezel LEDs. The alarm will sound for any fault that occurs with an enclosure
component. To silence the alarm, simply press the Alarm Reset button.
During boot, all LEDs on the front bezel except the Power On LED will turn amber
until the controller has completed its power on self test. When the controller comes
ready, all the LEDs will change to green indicating the system is ready.
