Dell EMC Server Administrator Storage Management 9.1

Storage Health

The Storage Dashboard displays the combined status for each controller and lower-level storage components. For example, if the health of the storage system has been compromised due to a degraded enclosure, both the enclosure Health and the controller severity on the Storage Dashboard display a yellow exclamation mark to indicate a Warning severity. If a controller on the Storage Dashboard displays a Warning or Critical status, perform the following actions to investigate the cause:

  • Click Check Alert Log to display the Alerts Log. Review the Alert Log for alerts relating to the status of the controller and its lower-level components. The Check Alert Log link is only displayed when the controller displays a Warning or Critical status.
  • Select the controller and investigate the status of the lower-level components. For more information, see Storage Component Severity.
  • Click the virtual disk that is in degraded state to display the Physical Disk Properties page.

NOTE: The virtual disk link is displayed only if the physical disks that are part of the virtual disk, are in a Warning or Critical state.

For more information on how the status of lower-level components is rolled up into the status displayed for the controller, see Determining The Health Status For Storage Components.
