SANblade Manager continuously monitors the connected hosts for alarms. The

receives an alarm, the adapter icon flashes with the color of the most severe alarm
received, with alarm status indicated as follows:
■ A green adapter icon indicates no alarm.
■ A gray adapter icon indicates an informational alarm.
■ A blue adapter icon indicates an unknown alarm.
■ A yellow adapter icon indicates a warning alarm.
■ A yellow adapter icon with a red X indicates that the loop is down.
■ A red adapter icon indicates a bad alarm.
See figure 8-5 for a sample HBA tree with alarms.

The flashing adapter icon indicates that there is at least one active alarm. When
you view the Alarm Log, the icon stops flashing and returns to its normal state.
The Alarm Log displays alarms that occur on hosts connected to your system.
Alarms display in the order that they occur, with the most recent alarm at the top of
the list. Or they display in the order you specify. New alarms populate the Alarm
Log automatically.
