5.2 Failure Conditions and Corrective Action
This section describes specific events in the system that requires corrective action and the
corresponding event or alarm.
5.2.1 Degraded System Availability
When the PixelStor 5000 is turned on, it captures an inventory of installed components and
connected interfaces. Once the user configures Disk Groups, the system also tracks the RAID
configuration information. If at any time, the system falls to lower system availability than at
startup, the System Health Alert is triggered. This can happen if a redundant component fails or
a RAID 1, 5, 6 or 10 disk(s) fail or if an interface fails to respond.
Corrective action:
Check the PixelStor Storage Manager for the source of the problem.
Restore redundancy by replacing the failed controller, power supply or failed drive. Once
system availability is restored the System Health Alert will stop flashing.
If the system has a global spare, the System Health Alert will stop flashing once the
RAID group is automatically rebuilt by the system.
5.2.2 Turning the System Health Alert Off
Once a system administrator identifies the problem and schedules corrective action, he may
want to turn off the System Health Alert. To shut off the flashing lights, the administrator needs
to:
Log-on to the PixelStor Storage Manager.
Once logged-in, click the “Options” menu.
In the options menu, click “System Health Alert Options”
There are two option buttons “enable and “disable”. Hit the disable button to shut off the
System Health Alert.
Although the System Health Alert is disabled, the system will continue to log error
notifications in PixelStor 5000 ’s system log. Administrators can view the
notifications in PixelStor Storage Manager’s “System Log” or “System Health Alert”
sub-menus.
