Storage Component Severity
Component status is indicated by the severity. A component with a Warning or Critical/Failure status requires immediate attention to
avoid data loss, if possible. The status of the component indicates the combined status of the components and its lower-level
objects.
It may be useful to review the Alert Log for events indicating why a component has a Warning or Critical status.
Table 2. Component Severity
Severity Component 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. Data loss is possible.
Critical/Failure/Error/Fatal — The component has either
failed or failure is imminent. The component requires immediate
attention and may need to be replaced. Data loss may have
occurred.
