SIM & Hardware status

Kelly Beauchaine — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 09:53:17 GMT

Hello,
I have an old ML530 running Windows 2000 server edition and have installed version 7.40 PSP. SIM says that I have a failed drive but upon checking the server, all lights are green and I've rec'd no alert otherwise. Is this just a matter of updating the management agents to 7.60?
Thanks,
KBeauchaine

When you log on to the Systems Management Homepage of the server concerned, klick on the "... controller ... " in "Storage", the state of the controller itself, the state of the physical drives and the state of the logical drives is shown to you.
Are they all "green"?

The lights on the hard disks themselves sometimes don't tell the complete truth ...

No, unfortunately the controller is yellow and port 2 drive 2 is in a failed status! So, those pretty lights on the server are not telling me the truth at this point! That's nice to know. Guess I'll get another drive ordered.
Thank you for your help,
