Viewing server health status
The Magnia SG20 has been integrated using high quality, reliable components. You
should not experience a problem during the normal life of the unit. However, in the
unlikely case that there is a problem, the Magnia SG20 contains a number of self-
monitoring capabilities that allow the system to detect potential problems before they
permanently damage the system. In this way, the system can help you identify problems
and get them resolved before the system crashes or data is lost.
The health monitoring subsystem can be viewed using the Administration Web site. A
summary of your server’s health is displayed on the default reports page when you first
access this server Web site.
Example of the System Status Report
This indicator will normally show that the Magnia SG20 is in good health, as indicated
above. If a problem is detected, the bullet on the left will turn yellow, and the status will
change from “Good” to “Warning.”
To view more detailed information about the server’s health, and the types of status being
monitored, select the Health menu item in the Reports tab. A more detailed summary of
the system’s health will appear.

You can view even more detailed information by clicking the hyperlinks for any of the
topics.
Hard drive status
The Magnia SG20 hard drives are “SMART” drives. They have built in capabilities to self-
monitor performance. They use this information to detect subtle changes in performance
and predict if the drive is likely to fail in the future. If a failure is predicted for a drive, this
will be displayed in the health status section of the Administration Web site as well as the
LCD.
