5.1.4.1. Hardware Status Reporting

The expandable Hardware Status section of the Node Status page contains status and operational

reporting if available for various hardware components installed on the node. Hardware status

reporting is dependent on hardware that supports and populates IPMI sensors, SMART status, and

in some cases manufacturer-specific components like SAS or iDRAC. Depending on your hardware,

not all status fields are populated. The hardware status values are scanned and populated for each

node independently, allowing for variations in supported utilities on a node by node basis.
