Property Definition
These icons represent the severity or health of the storage
component. For more information, see
Storage Component
Severity .
NOTE: If the enclosure is connected to the controller in
redundant path mode (for more information, see
Redundant Path
Configuration ), the loss of connection to any one EMM may
cause the enclosure status to be displayed as degraded.
Name This property displays the name of the enclosure or
backplane.
State This property displays the current status of the enclosure or
backplane. Possible values are:
Ready—The enclosure or backplane is functioning normally.
Degraded—The enclosure has encountered a failure and is
operating in a degraded state. The Degraded state does not
apply to backplanes.
Failed—The enclosure or backplane has encountered a failure
and is no longer functioning.
Connector This property displays the number of the connector to which
the enclosure or backplane is attached. This number matches
the connector number on the controller hardware.
Depending on the controller type, the connector can be
either a SCSI channel or a SAS port.
Enclosure ID This property displays the enclosure ID assigned to the
enclosure by Storage Management. Storage Management
numbers the enclosures attached to the controller starting
with zero. This number is the same as the enclosure ID
number reported by the
omreport Command. For
information on Command Line Interface, see the Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator Command Line Interface
User’s Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
Targe t ID This property displays the SCSI ID of the backplane (internal
to the server) or the enclosure to which the controller
connector is attached. The value is usually 6.
