4.3 Icon Types and Object Status

GDS Management uses icons to show the status of the objects.

Information

The SDX objects that belong to GDS classes and the shadow objects that belong to GDS Snapshot shadow classes are distinguished by fonts. Information related to shadow objects is displayed in italics.

The status and the icons of objects are shown below.

Note

Abnormality Detected with GDS Management

What GDS Management displays as abnormal is limited to objects detected by GDS.

Therefore, even if the disk unit may have a hardware abnormality, it will be displayed as normal until it is accessed, and then abnormality is detected.

You should pinpoint the hardware error on a disk unit based on, for example, log messages for the disk driver output in the /var/adm/messages file. For details, see "F.1.12 Disk Unit Error."
