11.2 Resource Status

Resources are monitored in the [Status] tab of the ROR console.
The [Status] tab shows the number of servers listed under the statuses "warning", "unknown", "error", or "fatal".
Servers whose status is "warning" or "unknown" are counted under "Warning", and servers whose status is "fatal" or "error" are counted under "Error".
Clicking on "Error" or "Warning", displays the resources under the corresponding status in the [Resource List] tab.

The status of resources can also be monitored from both the resource tree and the [Resource List] tab. When an error occurs, a status icon is added to the icon of the resource concerned.
Double-clicking on a resource icon displays the [Resource Details] tab, which provides detailed information about the corresponding resource.

Icons Displayed in the ROR Console

The following table shows the resource icons used in BladeViewer and their associated meanings.

Table 11.3 Resource Icons
Icon	Meaning
	Server resource
	Chassis
	Server
	Physical OS
	VM host
	Guest domain of OVM for SPARC registered as a VM host
	VM guest
	LAN switch blade L2 switch
	Management Host
	Ethernet Fabric
	VFAB
	Firewall
	Server load balancer
	Integrated network device
	Power monitoring device (*)
	PDU (*)
	UPS (*)
	Management software

* Note: Power monitoring devices (PDU or UPS) are not subject to monitoring.

The following table shows the status icons used in Resource Orchestrator and their associated meanings. It also shows which status icons require corrective actions.

Table 11.4 Status Icons
Icon	Status	Meaning	Corrective Action
None	normal	Normal	No action is necessary
	warning	Warning An error has occurred but the resource can still be used.	Action must be taken
	unknown	Unknown The status of the resource cannot be obtained. (1, 2)	Action must be taken
	stop	Stop The resource has stopped and cannot be used.	No action is necessary
	error	Error An error whose cause is unknown has occurred and the resource cannot be used.	Action must be taken
	fatal	Fault A fault has occurred in the resource and the resource cannot be used.	Action must be taken

*1: When a VM guest is in "unknown" status, check the operation status of the VM host on which the VM guest is running.
*2: When a network device is in "unknown" status, check the physical connection between the network device and admin LAN as well as the operation status of the network device.

Note

On the SPARC Enterprise T series, as statuses cannot be obtained from ILOM using SNMP, only "normal", "stop" or "unknown" statuses are shown, while "warning", "error", and "fatal" statuses cannot be detected. If an SNMP Trap indicating an error is displayed, check the status of the server on ILOM.
For other servers, hardware statuses cannot be obtained from server management software (ServerView). Therefore, only "normal", "stop" or "unknown" statuses are shown, while "warning", "error", and "fatal" statuses cannot be detected.
For PRIMEQUEST, all partitions within the same chassis may temporarily become "unknown" depending on the timing of change in power control status of the partition.
For LAN switch blades operating in Converged Fabric mode, or LAN switch blade PY CB 10Gb FEX Nexus B22, statuses are not be obtained from LAN switch blades using SNMP. Therefore, "unknown" status is not detected.

Information

For server virtualization software, the following information is also displayed.
- VM management software
  VM management software statuses can be one of the following: "normal" or "unknown".
  If "unknown" is shown, check whether the VM management software is operating properly.
- VM host
  The status of a VM host is displayed in the same way as for a physical OS.
- VM guest
  Errors detected from server virtualization software are reflected in VM guest statuses.
  VM guest statuses can be one of the following: "normal", "warning", "error", "unknown", or "stop".
  For details, refer to "11.2.2 Functional Differences between Products" in the "Design Guide CE".
For LAN switch blades, "error" and "fatal" are not displayed.
Only "warning", "normal", or "unknown" are displayed.
For network devices, "normal", "warning", "unknown", or "error" is displayed.
