Subsystem Monitoring

 

The SATA-based RAID subsystem comes with a number of different monitoring methods that

 

provide you with continual updates on the status of the system and individual components.

 

The following monitoring features are included in the subsystem.

2.4.1

I2C Bus

 

The following subsystem elements are interfaced to the RAID controller over a non-user-ser-

 

viceable I2C bus:

 

Cooling fan modules

 

PSUs

 

Temperature sensors

2.4.2

LED Indicators

 

The following active components come with LEDs to indicate the status of the individual com-

 

ponents:

 

RAID controller

 

LCD panel

 

Cooling fan module

 

PSU module

 

BBU module

 

Drive trays

2.4.3

Firmware and Bosch RAIDWatch GUI

 

Firmware: The firmware is pre-installed software that is used to configure the subsystem. The

 

firmware can be accessed either through the LCD keypad panel or a terminal emulation pro-

 

gram running on a management computer that is connected to the subsystem’s serial port.

 

Bosch RAIDWatch: Bosch RAIDWatch is a premier Web-based graphical user interface (GUI)

 

that can be installed on a remote computer and is used to access the array through LAN or the

 

Internet. The manager communicates with the array via the connection of the existing host

 

interface or Ethernet link to the RJ-45 LAN port.

2.4.4

Audible Alarms

 

The subsystems come with audible alarms that are triggered when certain active components

 

fail or when certain (controller or subsystem) thresholds are exceeded. If you hear hastily

 

repeated beep tones from the subsystems it is imperative that you immediately determine and

 

rectify the problem.

Event notification messages indicate the completion of or the condition when proceeding with array configuration tasks and are always accompanied by two or three successive and pro- longed beeps.

CAUTION!

Failing to respond when a critical alarm is heard can lead to permanent damage of the subsys- tem. When an audible alarm is heard, rectify the problem as soon as possible.
