In this case, the storage array shows both a Needs Upgrade status and an Unsupported Alerts icon in the Tree view. The Unsupported Alerts icon indicates that the storage array cannot be monitored. If you installed the Event Monitor with MDSM, and if you have set alerts, the Alert Set icon appears next to the storage array status in the Tree view for which the alerts have been set. You can set alerts at any of the nodes in the Tree view. Setting an alert at a parent node level, such as at a host level, sets alert fir any child nodes. If you set an alert at a parent node level and any of the in-band storage array child nodes have a Needs Upgrade status, the Alert Disables status icon appears next to the parent node in the tree view. The Contacting Storage Array icon is shown in the Tree view and Table view until the current status of each managed storage array is known. The Contacting Storage Array icon is shown in the EMW Status Bar and the AMW Status Bar and the tooltip shows Contacting Storage arrays. As each storage array is contacted, its current status is obtained and shown in the Tree view and Table view. The applicable statuses are the Optimal, Needs Attention, Fixing, or Unresponsive. No problems were encountered while adding the storage array. MDSM software continues to check for any status change events.
