•smart cell states

Hosts in the system (and their services) are organized into groups of the same type, called host groups. For example, to view all smart cell hosts, display the status of the host group SMARTCELL Servers in the System Status view.

As long as services appear to be functioning correctly (OK), the host is assumed to be healthy (UP). If monitoring indicates a host is not functioning correctly (DOWN), none of its services are available (they can have any status except OK). If a service has CRITICAL status, but the host is UP, the service probably needs to be restarted.

Statuses and states

Several PCC views show current life cycle states of smart cells or status values of particular hosts or services. Status values measure relative health, and can be associated with a status condition conveying a measure of confidence in the reported value.

For example, the health of a smart cell in the SUSPENDED life cycle state can be reported with the HEALTHY host status value, which means the RISS operating system and applications are functioning as they should be.

PCC views often use status and state loosely and interchangeably when referring to hosts and services. State is always used when referring to smart cell life cycle states, but status and state are both used when reporting smart cell health, since smart cells are regarded as a host like any other. PCC views also refer to status conditions as states or state types.

Table 6 Smart cell life cycle states

Life cycle state	Definition	Importance
ASSIGNED	The cell is assigned to a domain.	normal
	The cell is available for document storage, search, and
	retrieval. If backup is enabled, cell data can be backed
	up.
CLOSED	The cell is full.	normal
	It is available for document search and retrieval, but not
	storage. If backup is enabled, all cell data was backed
	up before the cell entered this state.
COMPLETE_PROCESSING	Data indexing is being completed.	maintenance
	The cell is full. It is available for document search and
	retrieval, but not storage. If backup is enabled, cell data
	can be backed up.
BACKING_UP	The cell is available for document search and retrieval.	maintenance
	If backup is enabled, the cell is backing up all its
	indexes and new data that has not yet been backed up.
SYNC_WAIT	The cell is available for document search and retrieval.	maintenance
RESTORE	The cell is a target for data restoration from another	maintenance
	smart cell.
	The cell is not available for document storage, search,
	or retrieval.
