No Agent Notification Causes Invalid or Missing Fault Displays
For some types of faults, Agent does not send Client notification of changes in
status as they occur. Client displays whatever fault information it last received.
Following are three situations in which a fault can occur without immediate
display in Client:
• The OTHER controller fails or is shut down.
• A cache battery on either controller fails or goes low.
• A cache module fails.
• A fan fails
• A power supply fails
In all of these cases, you can get current status by viewing the subsystem in
question using the REFRESH option in the View menu.
Incompatibility with Windows 95 Monitor Energy Saver Mode
If you are using Windows 95, do not use the “energy saver” (low power) monitor
mode available with some monitors and graphics adapters. Your system may
lock up with a blank screen when the energy saver mode is activated. You may
use any screen saver you wish with Command Console.
Manual Restart Required in Some Situations
In some situations in multiple-bus mode, both controllers must be restarted to
properly continue subsystem operation. In most cases, this function is
automatically performed by the software. If only one controller in a dual-
redundant pair restarts, however, you must manually restart the other controller.
CCL Recognition
The NT Agents will now recognize a CCL. The CCL cannot be assigned a drive
letter because it is a logical device and must be recognized by its physical drive
number. The NT Intel and Alpha Agents will recognize both device names (a-z)
and physical drive numbers. The disk administrator can be used to find the
associated drive number for any of the recognized devices.
