Maintenance-related Functions
When you want to use maintenance-related functions of the NEC Express5800/ft series, contact
your maintenance personnel.
Total Status of the PCI Module
When each module's status is simplex, the total status of the PCI module displayed on the
DataViewer is yellow (warning) and the status will be reflected to the server status. The ft control
software 3.0 or later does not display the information on Ethernet or SCSI adapter on the tree of the
DataViewer. If an error occurs on an Ethernet or SCSI adapter, view the alert reports.
Change of Installation States of CPU and PCI Modules
If you dynamically change the configuration of the CPU or PCI module in the relevant system
during review of the server information by using the DataViewer, the message prompting you to
reconstruct the tree of the DataViewer will appear. If you click the [Yes] button, the tree is
reconstructed in the DataViewer to reflect the change of the system configuration on the DataViewer.
Clicking the [No] button does not cause the tree to be reconstructed in the DataViewer. If so, the
information in the DataViewer may be different from the current system information because the
change of the system configuration is not reflected on the DataViewer.
SCSI Slot Information
When the PCI module is detached and you select [SCSI Slot] – [General], the displayed "Hardware
LED" information may not be correct.
To check the status of SCSI slots, see the string information in the "Status" column.
Impact When Module Status Changes
PCI modules, SCSI adapters, SCSI buses, and modules under the SCSI enclosure have impact on
each other. For example, when the "Status" item of a module changes to "fault," it may be caused
by another module's error. Therefore, you need to check the status of the other modules based on
alert information.
Status Color after Mounting a Hard Disk Drive
When creating a new mirror, the status of the hard disk and its upper component, SCSI enclosure,
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.
