Table 15. Dell host health
Information Description
Dell Host Health Component health is a graphical representation of the status
of all major host server components: Server Global status,
Server, Power supply, Temperature, Voltages, Processors,
Batteries, Intrusion, Hardware log, Power management,
Power and Memory. The chassis health parameters are
applicable for models VRTX version 1.0 and later, M1000e
version 4.4 and later. For versions less than 4.3 only two
health indicators are displayed, namely Healthy and Warning
or Critical (Inverted triangle with an exclamatory mark in
orange color). The overall health indicates the health based
on the chassis with the least health parameter. The options
include:
● Healthy (green check mark)—component operating
normally
● Warning (yellow triangle with exclamation point)—
component has a noncritical error.
● Critical (red X)—component has a critical failure.
● Unknown (question mark)—status is unknown for the
component.
For example, if there are five healthy signs and one warning sign, the overall health is shown as warning.
