Monitoring Storage Arrays Storage Array Status Quick Reference Status Optimal Icon Description An Optimal status indicates every component in the Storage Array is in the desired working condition. Needs Attention Fixing Unresponsive Contacting Device A Needs Attention status indicates a problem on a Storage Array that requires intervention to correct. To correct the problem, you should start the Array Management Window for the particular Storage Array and then use Recovery Guru to pinpoint the cause of the problem and obtain appropriate instructions. A Fixing status indicates a Needs Attention condition has been corrected and the Storage Array is currently transitioning to an Optimal state (for example, a reconstruction operation is in progress). A Fixing status requires no action unless you want to check on the progress of the operation in the Array Management Window. NOTE: Some recovery actions cause the Storage Array state to change directly from Needs Attention to Optimal, without an interim state of Fixing. The Fixing status icon is not displayed in the Overall Health Status area (Optimal is displayed instead). An Unresponsive status indicates the storage management station cannot communicate with the only controller or both controllers over its network management connection to the Storage Array. The Unresponsive icon is not displayed in the Logical View of the Array Management Window. If the Array Management Window is open and the Storage Array becomes Unresponsive, the last known state (Optimal, Needs Attention, or Fixing) is shown. A Contacting Device status indicates you have started the Enterprise Management Window and the storage management software is establishing contact with the Storage Array. The Contacting Device status is not displayed in the Logical View of the Array Management Window. 36 MONITORING STORAGE ARRAYS
