A storage array is always in one of six possible health status conditions, which you can identify by the status icon. • Optimal status - Every component in the managed device is in the desired working condition. • Needs Attention status - A problem exists with the managed device that requires intervention. If the storage array has a Needs Attention status, contact Technical Assistance for resolution. • Fixing status - A Needs Attention condition has been corrected and the managed device is currently moving into Optimal status. • Unresponsive status - The storage management station cannot communicate with the device or with one or both controllers in the storage array. • Contacting Device status - MD Storage Manager is currently establishing contact with the device. • Needs Upgrade status - The storage array is running a level of firmware that is no longer supported by MD Storage Manager. NOTE: For every non-Optimal status condition listed, use the Recovery Guru to detect and troubleshoot the problem. NOTE: Wait at least five minutes for the storage array to return to an Optimal status following a recovery procedure.

Use this utility before and after you create a virtual disk copy on a Windows operating system to ensure that all the memory-resident data for file systems on the target virtual disk is flushed and that the driver recognizes signatures and file system partitions. You can also use this utility to resolve duplicate signature problems for snapshot virtual disks. From a MS-DOS® window on a host running Windows, navigate to C:\Program Files\Dell\MD Storage Manager\util and run the following command: SMrepassist -f 108 Troubleshooting
