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.

NOTE:

If you manually close an auto-resolving alert, it is cleared from the Alerts Views of the OpsMgr console and not

generated again.
