third-party devices. HP-SIM reports hardware fault conditions (both failure and pre-failure) and collects data for reporting and graphing. HP-SIM also provides base-level management of HP clients, printers, and selected storage. HP recommends using HP-SIM to monitor the performance of your Windows, Linux, and NetWare systems. IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP-SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for processors, SAS, SCSI, and SATA hard drives, and memory modules. HP-SIM can monitor the following MSA controller parameters: • CPU usage • Total number of read and write commands processed • Average time to process a read or write command HP-SIM can monitor the following LUN parameters: • Total I/O count • Number of read and write requests • Number of sectors read or written For more information, see the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP-SIM website: http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim. Packet InterNet Groper (PING) overview Use the PING utility to check network connections. PING bounces a signal off the remote site and returns the time it took to complete the round trip each time. If no response is returned, the site is either down or unreachable. If only partial signals are returned, there might be an issue with the connection that will slow down performance. MSA array controller LCD panel Each array controller contains an integrated Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). This module is used for displaying informational and error messages, showing the status of the system modules, prompting for user input when required, and accessing the management menu. Traditional Power-On Self-Test (POST) messages issued by the PCI-based controllers have been combined with runtime event notification messages to create a new set of controller display messages. The display module is capable of holding up to 100 messages. After this maximum size is reached, older messages are removed to make room for newer ones. When a new message is sent to the LCD, the display shows that message and ignores any previous scrolling position. This new message is now the most recent message available. 30 Available diagnostic tools
