Environmental Alarms are not Being Reported

Array enclosures with SCSI-based enclosure monitoring capabilities (such as SAF-TE cards) send environmental alarms to the SANscape Console. The alarm state can be caused by a failure of a drive, fan, power supply, or battery, or by an abnormal temperature.

If an environmental alarm occurs, you must click Reset in the View Enclosure window to clear the alarm. You need to have configuration security privileges to click Reset in the software.

The SAF-TE monitoring specification for these storage enclosures requires that after an alarm occurs, subsequent environmental alarms are not generated until the alarm has been reset.

After the alarm is reset, environmental events are again be displayed in the Event Log.
