Installing and Using Utilities
Change of Installation States of CPU and PCI Modules
If you dynamically change the configuration of the CPU or PCI module in the relevant system during review of the server information by using the data viewer, the message prompting you to reconstruct the tree of the data viewer will appear. If you click the [Yes] button, the tree is reconstructed in the data viewer to reflect the change of the system configuration on the data viewer. Clicking the [No] button does not cause the tree to be reconstructed in the data viewer. If so, the information in the data viewer may be different from the current system information because the change of the system configuration is not reflected on the data viewer.
SCSI Slot Information
When the PCI module is detached and you select [SCSI Slot] → [General Information], the displayed “Hardware LED” information may not be correct.
To check the status of SCSI slots, see the string information in the “Status” column.
Impact When Module Status Changes
PCI modules, SCSI adapters, SCSI buses, and modules under the SCSI enclosure have impact on each other. For example, when the “Status” item of a module changes to “fault,” it may be caused by another module’s error. Therefore, you need to check the status of the other modules based on alert information.
Status Color after Mounting a Hard Disk
When creating a new mirror, the status of the hard disk and its upper component, SCSI enclosure, will continue to change frequently after you mount a hard disk until the mirror is completed. During this process, the status color may turn to abnormal, but when the mirror is created successfully, it will return normal.
LAN Monitoring Report
The LAN monitoring function defines the line status depending on the number of transmission packets and the number of packet errors within a certain period. Thus, the LAN monitoring function may report a line fault or high line load only in a temporary high line impedance state. If a normal state recovery is reported immediately, temporal high line impedance may have occurred thus there is not any problem.
LAN Monitoring Threshold
Because the NEC Express5800/ft series detects hardware faults on the network in the driver level, NEC ESMPRO Agent does not monitor line faults. Thus, the value set for "Line fault occurrence rate" of a [LAN] tab of [NEC ESMPRO Agent properties] in the control panel is not used.
Status during CPU Module Diagnosis
While diagnosing a stopped CPU module, the CPU is no longer in the duplex mode and the CPU
