View Enclosure

The View Enclosure window displays the component and alarm characteristics of an enclosure that is selected in the main window. For the Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array, View Enclosure also contains SATA MUX and SATA Router information.

For SCSI, the enclosure is identified by the model name Sun StorEdge 3310 A or Sun StorEdge 3320 A; Id is always 14 or 15, or Sun StorEdge 3120 A; Id depends on the Id switch position. For Fibre Channel and SATA, the enclosure is identified by the model name Sun StorEdge 3510F A or Sun StorEdge 3511F A; Id is always the last Id within the enclosure in which the SES is contained. The model name is followed by an A or D. A indicates a RAID array unit. D indicates a JBOD.

To access View Enclosure, either double-click the enclosure icon Enclosure icon of the array you want to view, or select the enclosure icon and Choose View > View Enclosure.

The upper two sections of the window identify the enclosure and provide related information. Note that when you have an array with multiple enclosures, you can use the Enclosure Number list box to reflect another enclosure attached to the same array controller.

Alarm State applies only if you have an array with a SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure (SAF-TE) (for a SCSI array) or SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) (for a Fibre Channel array) card.

  • If the Alarm State field displays "Alarm!", it means there is an alarm state caused by a failure of a drive, fan, power supply, or battery, or by an abnormal temperature in the enclosure. The audible alarm on the box also sounds.
  • For Sun StorEdge Configuration Service to continue monitoring after this alarm condition starts, you must push the Reset button on the right ear of the array.

NOTE: Controller events can also cause an audible alarm. Pushing the Reset button has no effect on audible alarms caused by a controller event. See Muting the Controller Beeper for information about muting the controller beeper.

See Environmental State for information on power supply, fan, and temperature sensor locations. For the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array, to display battery information, click Battery and see Battery Information. To display the FRU IDs and information for all FRUs in the array, click View FRU.

Environmental State

The Environmental State section of the View Enclosure window reports the status of power supplies, fans, and temperature. It provides an overall environment status of the array as well as the status of the individual components.

If one or more of the environmental components is not working, but the array is still functional, the enclosure, array, and server icons in the main window display a yellow (degraded) device status symbol Degraded. If the result of one ore more components not working places the array in a critical state, the enclosure, array, and server icons in the main window display a red (critical) device status symbol Critical. The device status symbol corresponds to the overall environmental status that is displayed in the Summary section of the View Enclosure window.

The Component/Status list reports the status of individual components, which might not always correspond to the overall status of the array. For example, if Power Supply #0 is pulled from the array, the yellow device symbol for degraded is displayed in the main window because the array is still functioning using Power Supply #1.

In the same scenario, under the Summary section, the overall status for Power also specifies Degraded. Under the individual component status, however, Power Supply #0 displays a status of Critical. Because Fan #0 is located in Power Supply #0, it also displays a status of Critical.

To determine power supply and fan locations in the array, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Configuration Service User's Guide.

SES and SAF-TE Temperature Sensor Locations

Monitoring temperature at different points within the array is one of the most important SES/SAF-TE functions. High temperatures can cause significant damage if they go unnoticed. There are a number of different sensors at key points in the enclosure. The following tables show the location of those sensors, which correspond to the Temperature # displayed in the View Enclosure Component/Status List.

Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI Array and Sun StorEdge 3320 SCSI Array Temperature Sensor Locations
Temperature ID Location
0 Port A drive midplane temperature sensor #1
1 Port A drive midplane temperature sensor #2
2 Port A power supply temperature #1 (power supply #0)
3 Port B EMU temperature #1 (left module as seen from back)
4 Port B EMU temperature #2 (right module as seen from back)
5 Port B drive midplane temperature #3
6 Port B power supply temperature #2 (power supply #1)

Battery Information

NOTE: The Battery Information window does not apply to the Sun StorEdge 3120 SCSI array, the Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI array, or the Sun StorEdge 3320 SCSI array.

In the event of a power failure, the battery maintains power to the cache for 72 hours. When power is restored, the data in cache is dumped to disk. For the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array, Sun StorEdge Configuration Service monitors the usable life of the battery and displays its status in the Battery Information window. The program calculates the battery expiration date using the battery type, manufacture date, and in-service date, which have been programmed at the factory.

NOTE: For a battery FRU, you need to verify the in-service date so that Sun StorEdge Configuration Service can set it as explained in Verifying the In-Service Date When Replacing a Battery.

The enclosure icon on the main window displays a degraded (yellow) status 21 days before the battery is going to expire. The enclosure icon also displays a warning (yellow) status if the in-service date has not been set for a battery FRU. A critical (red) status is displayed when a battery has expired. See Main Sun StorEdge Configuration Service Window for device status symbols.

To view the battery status, choose View > View Enclosure or double-click the enclosure. The View Enclosure window is displayed, showing the battery status in the Summary box.

To view battery information, inclining type, status, manufacture date, in-service date, and expiration date, click Battery. The Battery Information window is displayed.

Verifying the In-Service Date When Replacing a Battery

  1. Double-click the Enclosure icon.

    When Sun StorEdge Configuration Service detects a battery FRU, the enclosure displays a yellow status symbol in the main window.

    Sun StorEdge Configuration Service calculates the battery expiration date using the in-service date (date that the battery is put into service), which is based on the host clock. The program prompts you to verify the date.

  2. If the host clock is correct, click Yes. Sun StorEdge Configuration Service sets the In-Service Date and displays the date in the Battery Information window.

    If the host clock is incorrect, click No and reset the clock so that Sun StorEdge Configuration Service can prompt you to verify it again and then set the In-Service Date.

    CAUTION: If you do not reset and verify the in-service date, Sun StorEdge Configuration Service cannot accurately calculate the battery expiration date.

Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA Array

For Sun StorEdge 3511 FC arrays with SATA, the View Enclosure window contains SATA MUX and SATA Router information.

SATA MUX Information

To view the SATA multiplexer (MUX) board information for all the SATA drives, select the SATA MUX Info tab. Each drive has one MUX board. The information for the MUX board includes the channel number and ID of the drive attached to the MUX board, MUX board serial number, MUX board type (active-passive or active active), path controller (PC150) firmware revision number, and firmware boot revision.

SATA Router Information

To view all accessible SATA routers behind the RAID controller, click the SATA Router Info tab. The information displayed includes the enclosure ID and enclosure serial number of the chassis that the SATA router resides in, the channel number that the router controls, slot position of the IOM board that the router resides on, router firmware revision number, router firmware boot revision, customer specified behavior (CSB) rev (a collection of memory resident parameters that define operational behavior of the router), hardware revision number, and the self-test revision number.
