8. SIMULATING THE HARDWARE STATUS
The monitoring function of the RAS software detects change in the simulated hardware
status and notifies the change through various interfaces.
For information about the interfaces used for notification, see the following sections in
this manual.
・Fan condition:
・Temperature condition inside the chassis:
・Drive condition:
・RAID status:
NOTE
・While the equipment is running in simulation mode, monitoring of the actual
hardware status is disabled. Errors including fan failure and abnormal
temperature cannot be detected. You must never use this equipment in
simulation mode for business use. Use the simulation function only for testing
a user application and checking the notification interface of the RAS
software.
・While the equipment is running in simulation mode, the following functions
are stopped or cannot be used:
1. OS Hung-up Monitoring
2. RAID Consistency Check Command (D Model only)
・In simulation mode, the memory monitoring function records an event
(Event ID: 525) in the event log only when memory error is detected for the
first time. Afterward, even if memory error persists, the memory monitoring
function does not record events in the event log.
・In simulation mode, when the drive failure prediction function records an
event (Event ID: 265) of SMART detection in the event log, a string
"XXXXXXXX" is used for the model name of the drive.
Also note that you cannot simulate a situation that the drive condition is
"Unknown" or multiple conditions (for example, SMART detection and used
hours exceeded) occur at the same time.
・RAID status is automatically updated based on the condition of the drives.
Note that you cannot simulate a situation in which the RAID status is
"Unknown" or "Fail" or a situation in which media errors occur.
