CHAPTER 8 SIMULATING THE HARDWARE STATUS

8.1 Hardware Status Simulation

8.1.1 Overview

This function simulates the hardware status of this equipment. By simulating the hardware
status, you can test a user application and check the notification interface of the RAS
software without actual hardware failure.
When the hardware status is simulated, the RAS software is set to a special mode called
"simulation mode".
disabled. You must never use this equipment in simulation mode for business use.
This function simulates the following hardware conditions.
・Fan condition
・Temperature condition inside the chassis
・Drive condition (including drive failure prediction (SMART monitoring) condition and
whether the used hours exceeded the threshold)
・Memory condition
・RAID status (D Model only)
In "simulation mode", monitoring of the actual hardware status is
