Identifying Servers and Server States

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

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

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

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

• Power – Power status for the physical 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 server, the job ID appears here.

Server Power States

Server power is indicated by the following states:

• On – The server is powered on and running.

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

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

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

Hardware Health States

Server hardware health is indicated by the following states:

• Good – The server hardware is working properly.

• Unreachable – The 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 server. Take action to prevent the problem from becoming more serious. See Monitoring Threshold Values for information about viewing and tuning hardware sensor threshold values.

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

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

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

• Offline – The server is not managed.
