Identifying a failed part
An AMS 2100/2300/2500 may have a failure if any of the following
conditions occur:
•
You are notified of a failure by email, Navigator 2, or SNMP.
•
A failure is indicated by the Warning or Alarm LED on the array, or if the
Ready LED continues to blink and does not light steadily.
•
An abnormality such as performance deterioration is recognized by a
host system connected to the array.
•
When a logical unit cannot be recognized or is unstable.
