How to Check the Status of a SPARCstorage Array Controller's Fan and Battery (DiskSuite Tool)

1. Make sure you have met the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Managing the System") and have read the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Working Graphically with the SPARCstorage Array").

2. Click Disk View to display the Disk View window.

3. Look at the icons that appear beside each controller. (If necessary, display the desired controllers by selecting them in the Controllers window.)

   DiskSuite Tool indicates the status for a SPARCstorage Array controller's fans and battery with the same icons that appear on the SPARCstorage Array LCD screen:

   • Wrench icon - the object needs maintenance.

   • Wrench and Fan icons - a fan has failed, or excessive internal temperatures have occurred. In most cases, the SSA will be taken off-line automatically.

   • Wrench and battery icons - the NVRAM battery is low, or not installed.

   Note -

   The Disk View window also shows problems on non-SPARCstorage Array disks. If a wrench icon appears beneath one of these disks, there is a disk problem.

   Figure 6-3 shows a controller that has the wrench and battery icons displayed.

   Note -

   One or more failures can occur simultaneously. In this case, multiple icons can appear. The Controller Information window will also contain information on the failures, as will the Problem Log.
