Status Color after Mounting a Hard Disk Drive
When creating a new mirror, the status of the hard disk and its upper component, SCSI enclosure,
will continue to change frequently after you mount a hard disk until the mirror is completed. During
this process, the status color may turn to abnormal, but when the mirror is created successfully, it
will return normal.
Total Status of the PCI Module
When each module’s status is simplex, the total status of the PCI module displayed on the Data
Viewer is yellow (warning) and the status will be reflected to the server status. The ft control
software 3.0 or later does not display the information on Ethernet or SCSI adapter on the tree of the
Data Viewer. If an error occurs on an Ethernet or SCSI adapter, view the alert reports.
Hard Disk Drives Mirrored by the Rapid Disk Resync (RDR) Function
The Data Viewer’s [Mirror Disk] tree of [FTServer] shows a pair of hard disk drives constructing
mirroring as one mirror. Therefore the status of a volume (such as span volume and striping volume)
over multiple hard disk drives created by the RDR function may not be displayed correctly. Use the
RDR Utility for checking the state of mirrored hard disk drives created by the RDR function.
Fault Time of SCSI Slots
In the NEC Express5800/ft series with ft control software 3.0, “Time of last fault” in [Maintenance]
under [SCSI slot] on a Data Viewer is not supported. Therefore the time will not be displayed
correctly.
The Information on the Hard Disk Drive in the Disk Expansion Unit is not Displayed
Correctly.
When the Disk Expansion Unit is mounted, the information on the hard disk drive in the Disk
Expansion Unit may not be displayed on the [SCSI Enclosure] – [SCSI Slot] information on a Data
Viewer. In such case, reboot the system.
LAN Monitoring Report
The LAN monitoring function defines the line status depending on the number of transmission
packets and the number of packet errors within a certain period. Thus, the LAN monitoring function
may report a line fault or high line load only in a temporary high line impedance state. If a normal
state recovery is reported immediately, temporal high line impedance may have occurred thus there
is not any problem.
