3.5.1 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 11: Matrix Operations on the Applications Tab 196

The possible states for the application are:

In the following example, server 99.11.6.4 is down. The status for the first

application, 99.11.6.200, is Ok because clients are accessing the

application through the primary server, 99.11.6.2. The down server is a

backup and does not affect client access.

Application dg, however, is reporting an error. The Virtual NFS Service

99.11.6.203 is transitioning up, as indicated by the yellow arrow. Because

clients cannot currently access the service, its status is Error. The

application takes the status of its least healthy resource, and also reports a

status of Error. When the Virtual NFS Service is up, its status, and the

status of the application, will change to Ok.

Icon Status Meaning

OK Clients can access the application. For example,

an Export Group is healthy. All of its high-

availability monitors are currently running and

active on the associated nodes. All of the Virtual

NFS Services associated with the Export Group

are currently running and active on their

primary interfaces.

Warning Clients can access the application but not from

the primary node. For example, a Virtual NFS

Service may have failed over to a backup

interface, and administrative action may be

necessary.

Error Clients cannot access the application. For

example, an Export Group currently fails to meet

all of the health conditions described under OK,

above. The Export Group is no longer available,

or one or more Virtual NFS Services may be

down and not running on any node.
