Storage Automated Diagnostic

Environment 2.2

Check the internal status of the Sun StorEdge 3900 or 6900 series systems using the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment utility, version 2.2.

The Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment is installed on every Storage Service Processor that ships with the unit. All that is needed is web browser access to the Storage Service Processor.

In non-Sun host configurations such as Microsoft Windows 2000, the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment will be able to monitor the internals of the storage unit (switches, virtualization engines, and the Sun StorEdge T3+ arrays), but will not be able to completely monitor the host-to-storage unit link (the HBA to switch). Certain conditions will be noted by Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment, however, such as a port going offline, or increasing Fibre Channel errors on the port.
