System Director Status Indicators
When the shared storage network is functioning normally, a green indicator is displayed with the following
messages:
•Active Mode
• No warning events logged
• Reconfiguration not required
• Single System Director — Redundant operation not Enabled; Dual System Directors — Both paths are up
• Single System Director — Replication not Enabled; Dual System Directors — Replicated
n
If your network does not use a Dual System Director configuration, a gray indicator is displayed next to the
message, “Redundant operation is not enabled.”
If the indicator is yellow or red, the message changes. Use the following information to correct the problem:
• System Director is not running — start the System Director by clicking Start System Director.
• Check event log — logged significant events related to the System Director are also logged in the Logging tab
of the ISIS Management Console. For information on how to extract data in the system logs, see
“System and
Administration Log Pages” on page 118
.
• The following error messages indicate metadata replication status:
- Replication failed — Indicates that there was an error replicating the metadata to or from a standby
System Director.
- Replication unknown — Indicates that the current replication status has not been determined.
- Replication status not available — Indicates that the status is unknown. Most likely, the System Director is
not running.
