3.9.3.2. HPSS Status
On the upper section of the HPSS Health and Status window are four status fields that represent the
aggregate status of the HPSS system. These fields are:
Servers. Displays the most severe status reported to SSM by any HPSS server.
Devices and Drives. Displays the most severe status as reported to SSM for any configured Mover
device or PVL drive.
Storage Class Thresholds. Displays the most severe status reported by the MPS for the Active Storage
Class space usage. SSM assumes that all thresholds are “OK” until it receives contrary information.
PVR Cartridge Thresholds. Displays the most severe status of cartridge usage reported by any
configured PVR. SSM assumes that all thresholds are “OK” until it receives contrary information.
For the Servers and Devices and Drives fields, possible status values in increasing order of severity are:
• Normal - No problem reported.
• Unknown - SSM cannot determine the true status due to communication problems or other
difficulties.
• Suspect - There may or may not be a problem.
• Minor - A problem has been encountered by the server or device, but it does not significantly
affect the HPSS operation.
• Major - A problem has been encountered by the server or device that may degrade HPSS
operation.
• Critical - A problem has been encountered by the server or device that may disrupt HPSS
operation until the problem is resolved.
For the Storage Class Thresholds field, the possible status values are:
• OK - No problem reported.
• Warning - A threshold has been reported as crossing its warning limit.
• Critical - A threshold has been reported as crossing its critical limit.
• Stale - Migration Purge Server is down or SSM has not received an update from the MPS.
For the PVR Cartridge Thresholds field, the possible status values are:
• OK - No problem reported.
• Warning - A threshold has been reported as crossing its warning limit.
• Critical - A threshold has been reported as crossing its critical limit.
• Unknown or Stale - PVR is down or SSM has not received an update from the PVR.
As problems are resolved or returned to normal, the status fields will automatically reflect the changes.
