In the Table view, every managed storage array is listed once, regardless of the number of attachments it has in the Tree view. After the
storage array has been contacted by the MD Storage Manager, an icon representing its hardware status is displayed. Hardware status can
be Optimal, Needs Attention, or Fixing. If, however, all the network management connections from the storage management station to the
storage array shown in the Tree view are Unresponsive, the storage array status is represented as Unresponsive.
In the EMW Status Bar and the AMW Status Bar, the icons also have these behaviors:
• Hold the mouse over the icon in the EMW Status Bar and the AMW Status Bar to show a tooltip with a brief description of the status.
• The icons for the Needs Attention status and Unresponsive status are displayed in the EMW Status Bar and the AMW Status Bar if
there are discovered storage arrays with either condition.
The EMW Tree view has additional status icons that are shown in the following table.

A Needs Attention status has been corrected, and the managed storage array
is transitioning to an Optimal state.
The node is not supported by this version of MD Storage Manager.
The storage array is running a level of software that is no longer supported by
the MD Storage Manager.
Description
Setting an alert on a storage array with a
Needs Upgrade status is not supported. 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.
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 for
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 is displayed next to the parent node in
the tree view.
