OpsMgr 2007 R2), add the cluster IP address.
Health Status Indicators
The following table lists the icons that indicate the health status of the discovered Dell EqualLogic devices on the
OpsMgr console. For more information on severity propagation, see State Views.
Icon Health Status
Normal/OK — The component is working as expected.
Warning/Non-critical — A probe or other monitoring
device has detected a reading for the component that is
above or below the acceptable level. The component may
still be functioning, but it could fail. The component may
also be functioning in an impaired state.
Critical/Failure/Error — The component has either failed
or failure is imminent. The component requires immediate
attention and may need replacement. Data loss may have
occurred.
Not Monitored — The specific component is not
monitored.
Views
You can monitor the Dell EqualLogic devices through the various views that the Dell EqualLogic Storage Management
Pack Suite provides on the OpsMgr console.
The different views are:
• Alerts Views
• Diagram Views
• State Views
Alerts Views
The Alerts Views displays the alerts for:
• SNMP traps received from the individual Dell EqualLogic devices that you are monitoring. Alerts are associated
with the Ethernet interface card of the device.
• Health state change notification from Volumes group and Disks group unit monitors. These alerts are
automatically resolved when the health state of the groups change to normal.
• Incorrect installation of the Dell EqualLogic Storage Management Pack Suite. This alert is automatically
resolved after you repair the installation.
