Subsystem Monitoring

This chapter provides information on how to monitor the Galaxy RAID subsystems.

3.1 Subsystem Monitoring Overview

The subsystem is equipped with a variety of self-monitoring features that keep you

informed of the subsystem’s operational status. These monitoring features provide vital

feedback to help you maintain the operational integrity of the subsystem. Prompt

response to warnings and component failure notifications will improve the overall

operation and help ensure the longevity of the RAID subsystem.

Self-monitoring features include:

• Firmware (FW): The RAID controllers in the subsystems come with pre-

installed FW. The FW can be accessed using either the LCD keypad panel or a

PC running terminal software through the RS-232C (audio jack) serial port.

Device status information can be obtained from the FW. The FW capabilities

have been fully described in the “Fibre to SATA RAID Subsystem Operation

Manual” that came with your subsystems. Please refer to this manual for further

information.

• RAIDWatch: RAIDWatch is a fully integrated Java based Graphical User

Interface (GUI) that came with the subsystem and can be used to monitor and

maintain the subsystem using web browsers. Connection to a RAIDWatch

station is made using the existing Ethernet ports.

The RAIDWatch Panel View can be customized to show a direct, graphical

representation of the subsystem in the content panel of the RAIDWatch screen.

Panel View allows you to quickly determine the operational status of critical

components. Detailed information for the RAIDWatch manager is given in the

RAIDWatch User’s Manual included in the Product Utility CD that came with

your subsystem.

• Configuration Client: The powerful Configuration Client sub-module can be

used to keep you informed of system events via a variety of communication

methods like email, LAN broadcast, fax, pager, MSN messenger and SMS. The

sub-module runs as an independent program from RAIDWatch main program.

The Configuration Client helps prevent blind time and keeps you constantly

informed as to the status of the storage management subsystem. Instructions on
