Identifying Managed Servers and Server States

This section describes the information that the N1 System Manager reports for each managed server when you issue the show server command with the all keyword, or the show group command.

• Name – The managed server or group name. The managed server name is initially set to the management IP address. For instructions on how to change the managed server name, see Modifying Managed Server and Group Information.

• Hardware – Describes the type of managed server. See the Sun System Handbook documentation for your managed server.

• Hardware Health – The status for attributes such as memory, processor information, and Network Interface Card (NIC) information.

• Power – Power status for the managed server.

• OS Usage – If an OS profile is loaded, the OS name appears here.

• OS Resource Health – If an OS profile is loaded, the OS state appears here if monitoring is enabled.

• Jobs – If a job is in progress or has completed on the managed server, the job ID appears here.

Managed Server Power States

Server power is indicated by the following states:

• On – The managed server is powered on and running.

• Standby – The managed server is powered off but still responsive to commands, for example, start.

• Unknown – The managed server is not returning any power status information.

• Unreachable – The managed server cannot be contacted for power status information.

Hardware Health States

The hardware health of managed servers is indicated by the following states:

• Good – The managed server hardware is working properly.

• Unreachable – The managed server cannot be contacted for information about the status of hardware health. This state is most often caused by a network problem.

• Warning Failure – A potential or impending fault condition has been detected on the managed server. Take action to prevent the problem from becoming more serious. See Monitoring Threshold Values for information about hardware sensor threshold values.

• Critical Failure – A fault condition has occurred on the managed server. Corrective action is required.

• Nonrecoverable Failure – The managed server has completely failed. Recovery is not possible.

• Unknown – The managed server is not returning any hardware health status.

• Offline – The server is not managed.
