Resolving Problems Shown By The Status Indicators; Using The Diagnose Button - Adaptec 2110S User Manual

Adaptec Storage Manager Pro User's Guide
Resolving Problems Shown by the Status
Indicators
The Status column for each device in the System Browser Details
pane displays an indicator that changes based on the condition of
the device:
I
None—Shows that the system has nothing to report.
I Information —Shows that the system has some
information to report.
I
Caution —Warns you about a potential problem with the
device.
I Critical —Warns you that the device has failed.
Information, Caution, and Critical icons similar to those above are
displayed next to any device or array in the Devices or Arrays pane
when something has happened to a device or array. You may also
see a Diagnose button in the Command Buttons pane. See the next
section for information about the Diagnose button.

Using the Diagnose Button

The Diagnose button appears on the System Browser Command
Buttons pane and is activated when Storage Manager Pro detects a
problem with the selected system, device, or array. Using the
Diagnose function, you can see details about the problem including
a description, the cause, and suggestions for resolving the problem.
For example, if you are creating a RAID 5 set, you will notice a
Caution icon next to the array immediately after you create the
array. If you select the array in the Arrays pane, the Diagnose button
is then activated. Clicking the Diagnose button would explain that
the array is nonredundant during the verify process. Once the verify
process is complete, the array will be redundant, the Caution icon
removed, and the Diagnose button will be unavailable.
Additional information is also available by clicking Details in the
Diagnose dialog box, which displays a specific help topic for that
problem.
