To Monitor Hard Disk Status; Monitoring Standard Configuration Hard Disk Status Using Element Manager - Nortel BCM200 Installation And Maintenance Manual

Monitoring standard configuration hard disk status using Element
Manager
Use the procedure described in this section to monitor the operational status of systems equipped
with the standard hard disk configuration. The standard configuration uses a single hard disk.
The procedures describe monitoring and diagnosis techniques for the standard hard disk
configuration.
Note: If you are using the Element Manager system status monitor function, ensure the
hard disk monitoring configuration settings are set correctly.
Use the system status monitor from Element Manager to determine the operational status of the
hard disk. Alternatively, examine the LED display panel on the front of the base function tray (see
"Base function tray system status display LEDs" on page
Note: If the hard disk fails completely in a standard configuration, the system either fails
to respond or performs a software shutdown. Replace the hard disk and perform a backup
using the backup and restore utility (BRU). See
page 250.

signifies normal disk access activity.
