Selecting a device icon and then selecting [Element] - [Detail] - [Expand] in the Correlation window displays detailed information about the selected icon. Alternatively, selecting [Detail] from the pop-up menu of a selected icon displays the same detailed information. The window below shows detailed information of devices in the server node. The detailed items of devices displayed in the window are called elements.
To return the display from detailed information to the original device icon, select the frame of the device, and then select [Element] - [Detail] - [Collapse] in the Correlation window; select [Detail] - [Collapse] from the pop-up menu, or double-click the frame of the device.
Select [Select] from the toolbar and double-clicking an area without an element (in the above figure, pale blue portion of [Inside Frame] for a device) displays the selected devices in the full Correlation window, shown as below.
To display the original window, double-click an area without an element in the window.
Displaying details (detail information) of device icons makes the Correlation window seem complicated because the number of elements becomes very large. For this reason, this software supports the show element function (see "6.2.7 Show element", for details) and element integration function (see "6.2.8 Element integration", for details) for a clearer window. These functions are as follows:
The initialization of the show element function are as follows:
For the server node
Displays except MultiPath Driver (Slice) and Raw Device (Disk).
For storage
Displays CA (Port), Affinity Group, LUN, Logical Volume, RAID Group, and Disk.
Elements which can be integrated are as follows:
For the server node
DBMS (File type), DBMS (File), File System (Space), Mirror Driver (Volume), MultiPath Driver (Disk), Raw Device (Disk)
For storage
LUN, Logical Volume, and Disk
Each device icon and each element icon in the Correlation window indicates the status of a device or element, as described in the table below.
Icon state | Color of icon frame | Icon | Description | Action to be taken |
|---|---|---|---|---|
normal | Transparent or green | The device is operating normally. | None | |
warning | Yellow |
| An warning-level error was detected on the device. The degraded level differs depending on the unit type and element type. For details, see "B.7 Resource View Properties". | Replace the faulty part, and execute recovery processing. However, if a middleware element on the server node is faulty, recover it while referring to the general description of the respective product. -> "8.1 Windows Displayed in the Event of a Fault and Troubleshooting" |
error | Red |
| An error was detected on the device. The degraded level differs depending on the unit type and element type. For details, see "B.7 Resource View Properties". | Replace the faulty part, and execute recovery processing. However, if a middleware element on the server node is faulty, recover it while referring to the general description of the respective product. -> "8.1 Windows Displayed in the Event of a Fault and Troubleshooting" |
stop | Green |
| The resource is stopped and not available. | None |
fatal | Red |
| An error occurred in this resource, and the resource is not available. | None |
unknown | Grey |
| The status cannot be obtained. | None |
timeout | Gray | The device is registered with this software but cannot be recognized by the software. The device properties displayed by the GUI contain the values retrieved the last time the device was recognized. If a Fibre Channel switch enters this state, the GUI does not display any Fibre Channel physical line under control of the Fibre Channel switch. In addition, the software does not recognize any access path using this Fibre Channel switch. Accordingly, the GUI indicates errors for all such access paths. | The power supply of the device may be off, or Agent may not be operating, or a LAN error may have occurred. If you changed the IP addresses manually, also refer to "9.1.2 Changing the operating environment" and perform operations to reflect the changes of the IP addresses. If the device uses the SNMP protocol for communication, the community name of the device may differ between the target device and admin server. If the community name of the target device has been changed, set the community name by referring to "C.2 sanma.conf Parameter", and reflect the setting file on this software. ->Check the device status, and click [View] - [Refresh]. | |
undefined | Violet | The unit (device) is undefined in this software. | Define the unit (device) in the resource view. |
Detailed information about each element can be displayed in the Properties dialog. The storage system status can easily be determined because the Properties dialog can be displayed for all elements. In the examples shown below, the MultiPath Drive element and ETERNUS3000 RAID Group element are selected for the Properties dialog.
After selecting an element to display detail information, select [Property] from the pop-up menu or double-click the element.
Each property value is explained in "B.9 Correlation Window Properties".
