Hardware Status window

This topic describes the Hardware Status window in IBM® Director.

Introduction

Hardware Status lets you view systems and device hardware status from the console. Hardware status notifies you whenever a system or device has a hardware status change by flashing an icon in the lower right corner of the console. Hardware status also adds the system or device to the applicable hardware status group whenever a system or device generates a hardware event. Each system can have only one status at a time: critical, warning, information, or normal. A system is grouped under the highest severity. For example, if a system has both critical and warning events it is shown under Hardware Status Critical and is not listed in Hardware Status Warning.

Hardware Status makes it easy to identify systems and devices that need attention by integrating the status from all objects into an overall system-health status view.

The Hardware Status interface is divided into two sections: Status Groups, which provides navigation and a Result area, which contains information for the system being viewed.
