In the Table view, every managed storage array is listed once, regardless of the number of attachments it has in the Tree view. After the storage array is contacted by MDSM, an icon representing its hardware status is displayed. Hardware status can be Optimal, Needs Attention, or Fixing. If, however, all of the network management connections from the storage management station to the storage array shown in the Tree view are Unresponsive, the storage array status is represented as Unresponsive.

In the EMW Status Bar and the AMW Status Bar, the icons also have these behaviors:

Hold the mouse over the icon in the EMW Status Bar and the AMW Status Bar to display a tooltip with a brief description of the status.

The icons for the Needs Attention status and Unresponsive status is displayed in EMW Status Bar and the AMW Status Bar if there are discovered storage arrays with either condition.

The EMW Tree view has additional status icons that are shown in the following table.
