Storage Subsystem Status; Operations In Progress - IBM System Storage DS3500 Introduction And Implementation Manual

Note: We recommend you that you save a new version of the profile (or collect all support
data (CASD) as described in Chapter 14, "Administration - Support" on page 337) and
store it securely whenever the configuration changes. Even in the case of a complete
configuration loss, your data on disks can be not affected, and you can restore the arrays
and logical drives configuration as well as the mappings for the storage partitioning. The
profile should be stored locally, and also can be included in any offsite disaster recovery
documentation.

7.1.2 Storage subsystem status

The second line in the Status box shows the current subsystem status. If the status is green
as on Figure 7-2 on page 185, the subsystem is running in an optimal status. If there is any
problem with the subsystem, the status icon will change to red (Figure 7-4). Click the link
Storage Subsystem Needs Attention to open the Recovery Guru. How to troubleshoot and
recover from problems is covered in Chapter 14, "Administration - Support" on page 337. The
same red icon is also visible in upper part of the Subsystem Manger window, close to the
name of subsystem and also the Recovery Guru icon in the toolbar is flashing.

7.1.3 Operations in Progress

The third line shows operations that are currently in progress (Figure 7-5). If there is at least
one operation in progress, you can click the link to display a window with more detailed
information (Figure 7-6 on page 187). You can find more information about operations in
progress in Chapter 9, "Administration - Logical Tab" on page 225.
