The View Enclosure window displays the component and alarm characteristics
of an array enclosure that is selected in the main window. For SCSI, the EMU is identified by the Model: SANnet II 200L or SANnet
II 100L; the ID is always 14 or 15. For FC, the SES is identified by the
Model: SANnet II 200F; the ID is always the last ID within the enclosure
in which the SES is contained. The Model is followed by an R or
J. R indicates a RAID unit. J indicates a JBOD.
The upper two sections of the window identify the enclosure and provide
related information. Note that when you have an array with multiple enclosures,
you can use the Enclosure Number list box (located in the upper
right corner of the window) to reflect another enclosure attached to the
same array controller. To display the FRU IDs and information for all FRUs in the array, click
View FRU.
The Alarm State section of the window applies only if you have
an array with a SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure (SAF-TE) (for a
SCSI array) or SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) (for a Fibre Channel array)
card.
NOTE: The Reset button on the View Enclosure windows is reserved for future use.
NOTE: Controller events can also cause an audible alarm . Pushing the Reset button
has no effect on audible alarms caused by a controller event. See Muting the Beeper for
information about muting the controller beeper. The lower section of the window provides status of the components in
the window. When there is a device in the slot, it is represented by a
drive icon with a color and a symbol representing its device state. NOTE: The Battery Information window does not apply to the SANnet II Blade SCSI JBOD array or the SANnet II 200 SCSI array. In the event of a power failure, the battery maintains power
to the cache for 72 hours. When power is restored, the data in cache is dumped to disk. For the SANnet II 200 FC array, SANscape
monitors the usable life of the battery and displays its status in the Battery Information window.
The program calculates the battery expiration date using the battery type, manufacture date,
and in-service date, which have been programmed at the factory.
NOTE: For a battery FRU, you need to verify the in-service date so that SANscape can set it as explained in Verifying the In-Service Date When
Replacing a Battery.
The enclosure icon on the main window displays a degraded (yellow) status 21 days before the battery is
going to expire. The emclosure icon also displays a warning (yellow) status if the in-service date has not
been set for a battery FRU. A critical (red) status is displayed when a battery has expired. See Main SANscape Window for device status symbols. To view the battery status, choose View > View Enclosure or double-click the enclosure. The
View Enclosure window is displayed, showing the battery status in the Summary box. To view battery information, inlcuding type, status, manufacture date, in-service date, and expiration date,
click Battery. The Battery Information window is displayed. Verifying the In-Service Date When Replacing a Battery
When SANscape detects a battery FRU, the enclosure displays a yellow status symbol in the main window.
SANscape calculates the battery expiration date using the in-service date (date
that the battery is put into service), which is based on the host clock. The program prompts you to verify the date.
If the host clock is incorrect, click No and reset the clock so that SANscape can prompt you to verify it again and then set the In-Service Date.
CAUTION: If you do not reset and verify the in-service date, SANscape
cannot accurately calculate the battery expiration date. |
