Manager

Status Color after Mounting a Hard Disk Drive
→ When creating a new mirror, the status of [SCSI Enclosure] and [SCSI Slot] of [Information of server
state/constitution] will continue to change frequently after you mount a hard disk until the mirror is
completed. During this process, the status color may turn to abnormal, but when the mirror is created
successfully, it will return normal.

CPU Information
→ The CPU information can be viewed by selecting [System] – [CPU] in the [Information of server
state/constitution] screen.
→ If you select [CPU Module] – [CPU] in the [ft System] tree, unknown or incorrect information appears
in some information items.

Change of hardware configuration
→ If you dynamically change the configuration of the CPU or PCI module (IO module), [ft System] tree
in [Information of server state/constitution] may not be displayed correctly. In such a case, wait for
about 5 minutes, open [Information of server state/constitution] again.

Display immediately after system startup
→ If you open [Information of server state/constitution] immediately after the system starts up, the tree
or the state may not be displayed correctly due to high load of the system. In about 20 minutes after
the system startup, open [Information of server state/constitution] again.

Flash FDD information
→ After turning on/off the POWER switch of CPU/IO module, the flash FDD name of [I/O Device] in
[Information of server state/constitution] may be different from the name that is recognized by the OS.
Check the Flash FDD name on Explorer.
If Flash FDD is added or removed while the system is running, the result is reflected to [I/O Device] in
[Information of server state/constitution] at the next system startup.

Display when the PCI module (IO module) is running in the simplex mode.
→ When only the PCI modules (IO modules) is running in the simplex mode (non-duplexed mode), the
[Information of server state/constitution] cannot display the status of the [SCSI Enclosure] and [Mirror
Disk] correctly. To check if the duplex mode is changed to the simplex mode, check the event log or
AlertViewer log, or the status color of the PCI module by the [Information of server state/constitution].

SCSI Status while PCI module is Starting or being Stopped:
→ While the PCI module is starting or being stopped, the status of [SCSI Enclosure], [SCSI Slot], and
[Mirror Disk] in [Information of server state/constitution] may become unstable, and incorrect status
may be displayed temporarily.

Display of an Unmounted Sensor
→ For R320c-E4/ R320c-M4, an unmounted sensor is indicated as "Unknown" on [Information of server
state/constitution].
Ex: [Information of server state/constitution] - [Enclosure] - [Temperature]
Temperature information
Location: DIMM2 Temp#0
Temperature: Unknown
Threshold: Disabled
Status: Unknown
