Status Page

The Status page provides at-a-glance information about your server's hardware. The Component Status Legend table (shown by default) describes the various status icons you may see for components. Select the information you want from the System Components or System Management lists on the left side. Click on a topic below for more information:

 Note Depending upon your server's model, you may or may not see all of the topics described here.

Memory Status page

Clicking the Memory link from the Status page takes you to the Memory Status page. This page shows a snapshot status of memory modules in the server. This includes the following tables:

Clicking the error code hyperlink listed in the code column will display a more detailed description of the problem and what to do about it.

Memory Advisory page

Clicking the slot label listed in the Installed Memory table will bring you to the Memory Advisory page. This page provides detailed information on the specific memory module and its status. Though much of the same information on the Memory Status page may be found here, this page also includes:

• Identification of the most significant (highest severity level) event received on the specified memory module that requires your attention or action.

• A graphic of where the memory module is located in the system.

• A list of other events specifically related to the memory module.

Storage Status page

Clicking the Mass Storage link from the Status page takes you to the Storage Status page. This page shows a snapshot status of the mass storage in the server. This includes the following tables:

• Storage capacity. This provides handy information about the logical drives in your system, how big they are and how much space they have available.

• Controllers. This shows all of the disk controllers in the system, their SCSI IDs, their type (RAID or not), the driver they use, its version, and whether the controller has any DRAM memory installed.

• Disks. This shows the different types of disks in the system, their status, size, manufacturer, firmware version, serial number, etc. Status icons can help you quickly identify a problem disk. The hyperlinked Product ID column will take you to the Disk Advisory page.

• Storage events. This table lists the events logged to the System Event Log for mass storage. Information includes event severity, error code, a short description of the problem and the time the error was logged. Clicking the error code hyperlink listed in the code column will display a more detailed description of the problem and what to do about it.

Disk Advisory page

Clicking the disk product ID listed in the Disks table will bring you to the Disk Advisory page. This page provides detailed information on the specific disk drive and its status. Though much of the same information on the Storage Status page may be found here, this page also includes:

• Identification of the most significant (highest severity level) event received on the specified disk drive that requires your attention or action.

• A tool for locating a failed disk in the system.

• A list of other events specifically related to the disk drive.

Locating a Failed Disk

If the problem resolution includes removing a hot swap drive, click the LOCATE button to get help on specifically identifying the drive to be removed. The Disk Drive Locator Wizard will run and, depending upon its ability to access the controller/device hardware, allow you to:

• flash the activity LED of a drive
• flash the power LED of a drive
• flash in sequence the LEDs of all the drives on the channel (then you look for the one that doesn't flash)

Once you've identified the drive, click the Finish button to stop flashing the LED(s). If you don't press Finish or Cancel, the LED(s) will stop flashing automatically after 3 minutes.

System Hardware

Clicking the System Hardware link from the Status page takes you to the System Hardware Events page. This page provides a list of server hardware events collected in the server's System Event Log that don't relate to memory, mass storage, or power supplies. Information includes event severity, error code, a short description of the problem and the time the error was logged. Clicking the error code hyperlink listed in the code column will display a more detailed description of the problem and what to do about it.

Power Supply

Clicking the Power Supply link from the Status page takes you to the Power Supply Status page. This page shows a snapshot status of hotswap power supplies in the server. This includes the following tables:

• Installed power supplies. This table shows the current status of the system power supplies. Status icons can help you quickly identify a problem module.

• Power supply events. This table lists the events logged to the System Event Log for hotswap power supplies. Information includes event severity, error code, a short description of the problem and the time the error was logged. Clicking the error code hyperlink listed in the code column will display a more detailed description of the problem and what to do about it.

Temperature

Clicking the Temperature link from the Status page takes you to the Temperature Sensors Status page. This page shows a snapshot status of the current temperature readings for each of the temperature sensors in the server. This includes the following tables:

• NetServer temperature sensors. This table shows the current readings of the temperature sensors in the server. Status icons can help you quickly identify a temperature problem.

• Temperature events. This table lists the events logged to the System Event Log that relate to server temperatures. Information includes event severity, error code, a short description of the problem and the time the error was logged. Clicking the error code hyperlink listed in the code column will display a more detailed description of the problem and what to do about it.

Voltage

Clicking the Voltage link from the Status page takes you to the Voltage Sensors Status page. This page shows a snapshot status of the current voltages of boards in the system that are monitored with voltage sensors. This includes the following tables:

• NetServer voltage sensors. This table shows the current status of system board voltages. Status icons can help you quickly identify a problem board.

• Voltage events. This table lists the events logged to the System Event Log that relate to server voltages. Information includes event severity, error code, a short description of the problem and the time the error was logged. Clicking the error code hyperlink listed in the code column will display a more detailed description of the problem and what to do about it.

Fan Speed

Clicking the Fan Speed link from the Status page takes you to the Fan Speed Sensors Status page. This page shows a snapshot status of the current fan speeds in the system that are monitored with sensors. This includes the following tables:

• NetServer fan speed sensors. This table shows the current status of system fan speeds. Status icons can help you quickly identify a problem fan.

Clicking the error code hyperlink listed in the code column will display a more detailed description of the problem and what to do about it.

Event Log

Clicking the Event Log link from the Status page takes you to the event log page. This page shows a snapshot of all events (defined as changes to the status of the server) currently stored in the server's System Event Log. Information includes event severity, error code, a short description of the problem and the time the error was logged. Clicking the error code hyperlink listed in the code column will display a more detailed description of the problem and advice on what to do about it.

 Note Agents software shipped with your HP NetServer and required for HP TopTools Device Manager and HP TopTools AutoAlert are not required for Instant TopTools. However, with the agents software installed you will be able to receive additional events otherwise not obtainable except through HP TopTools Device Manager or TopTools AutoAlert. For more about agent software, refer to the HP TopTools for Servers Administrator Guide or the Agents readme file under the Manage\Server subdirectory on the HP NetServer Navigator CD.

The following buttons are available on this page:

• Refresh button. Upon entering the Event Log page, the current listing of events is displayed. New listings will not be displayed until you either leave and come back to this page, or click the Refresh button.

• Clear Event Log button. Clicking this button will clear all events from the event log

 Warning In the upper right hand corner of this page is the Clear Event Log button. Clicking this button will, after a confirmation is asked for and received, delete all items stored in the hardware event log on the server.
