Control And Monitoring - NexStor 4900F Series User Manual

Chapter 1 - Getting Started

Control and Monitoring

An integral part of the NexStor 4900F Series Storage System is its control and
monitor capabilities.
The SES processors provide monitoring data for the enclosure environmental
conditions such as enclosure temperature, cooling fans, power supplies, and FC
Loop status. This data is reported to the monitoring system to provide LED and
audible alarm notifications. This monitored information is also communicated to
external monitoring software.
Refer to "Enclosure Monitoring" on page 109 for complete details.

The RAID Controllers provide monitoring data for its environmental condition
and logical arrays. They communicate that data to the front bezel LEDs,
third-party configuration and monitoring software such as StorView, and the
VT-100 firmware-based interface for management and monitoring. (Refer to the
software user's guide for configuration, management, and monitoring of the
controllers and logical arrays.)
