Monitoring Enclosures

When the MegaRAID Storage Manager software is running, you can see the status of all drive enclosures connected to the server by selecting the Physical tab in the left panel. If an enclosure is operating normally, the icon looks like this: . If an enclosure is not functioning normally—for example, if a fan has failed—a yellow or red circle appears next to the icon.

Information about the enclosure appears in the right panel when you select the Properties tab on the MegaRAID Storage Manager main menu. A graphical display of enclosure information appears when you select the Graphical View tab.

NOTE  The Graphical view is available for enclosures in the MegaRAID Storage Manager software for IR only.

The display in the center of the window shows how many slots of the enclosure are actually populated by drives, and the lights on the drives show the drive status. The information on the right shows you the status of the temperature sensors, fans, and power supplies in the enclosure.
