Main Sun StorEdge Configuration Service Window
The main Sun StorEdge Configuration Service window provides status at
a glance for all array devices. It indicates the status
of the devices and logical drives connected to servers monitored by the
console. The devices include array controllers, disk storage enclosures,
physical disk drives, and other SCSI devices.
This window's tree structure offers detail for all devices connected to each server. The container symbols at the left side of the tree indicate whether the display of devices is expanded or collapsed.
NOTE: The SN# represents the unique ID of the array.
For more information, you can double-click an icon to open a component view window.
Another feature of the main window is that device states are color-coded and
symbol-coded, so that it is easy to identify when a device is in a state
that requires your attention. The status is propagated along the device
trees, enabling you to trace a failure down to the device level.
Color
| Symbol
| State
| Purple
| None
| The group, server, or device is online.
| White
| None
| The user has not logged in to this server.
| Yellow
|
|
One or more components of this group
or server are not working, but the array is still functional. See Degraded State
for further details.
| Red
|
|
One or more components
of this group or server are not working, which has placed the device
in a critical state. See Critical
State for further details.

Degraded
State
Reasons for which a device
might be placed in a degraded state include but are not limited to the
following:
- Depending on the size
of the logical drive and the number of physical drives it contains,
a logical drive that has one or more failed physical drives can be
operating in a degraded state. See View
Logical Drive to determine the status of the logical drive and
the status of the physical drives that make up the logical drive.
- If one or more environmental
components, including the power supplies, fans, and temperature is
not working, but the array is still functional, the enclosure, array,
and server icons indicate a degraded state. See
Enclosure View for more information.
- If the controller shuts
down because the option to shut down the controller if the temperature
exceeds the threshold limits has been enabled, the controller is operating
in a degraded state. See Changing
Controller Parameters - Peripheral Tab for more information.
- For the Sun StorEdge 3510
FC array or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array, a degraded state might indicate
that the battery is going to expire in 21 days, or that the in-service
date has not been set for a replacement battery. See Battery
Information for more information, and see Verifying
the In-Service Date When Replacing a Battery for information on
the in-service date. Refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family FRU
Installation Guide for details on installing a replacement battery.
Critical
State
Reasons for which a device
might be placed in a critical state include but are not limited to the
following:
- Depending on the size
of the logical drive and the number of physical drives it contains,
a logical drive that has one or more failed physical drives can be
operating in a critical state. See View
Logical Drive to determine the status of the logical drive and
the status of the physical drives that make up the logical drive.
- If two or more environmental
components, including the power supplies, fans, and temperature is
not working, for example, three fans fail or two power supplies fail,
the enclosure, array, and server icons indicate a critical state.
See Enclosure View for more information.
- If a controller device
exceeds or does not meet the threshold range that was set using the
firmware application, the controller icon indicates a critical state.
See Viewing
Environmental Status for the Controller for more information.
- For the Sun StorEdge 3510
FC or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array, a critical state might indicate
that the battery has expired. See Battery
for more information.
Device Capacities
Sun StorEdge Configuration Service windows often present the capacity
of devices such as logical drives. All device capacity is displayed
in powers of 1024.
- 1 Kbyte = 1024 bytes
- 1 Mbyte = 1024 Kbyte = 1,048, 576 bytes
- 1 Gbyte = 1024 Mbyte = 1,073,741,824 bytes
- 1 Tbyte = 1024 Gbyte = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
