HP Reference Information Storage System Version 1.6 Administration Guide revision 2 (T3559-90809, September 2007)

• system performance
• smart cell states
Hosts in the system (and their services) are organized into g roups of the same t ype, called host groups.
For examp le, to view all smart cell hosts, display the status of the host group S MA RTCELL Servers in
the System Status view.
As long as ser vices appear to be functioning correctly (OK) , the host is assumed to be healthy (UP). If
monitoring indicates a host is not functioning correctly (DOWN) , none of its services are available
(they can have any status except OK). If a service h as CRITICAL status, but the h ost is UP, the service
probably needs to be restarted.
Statuses and states
Several PCC v
iews show current life cycle states of smar t cells or status values of particular hosts or
services. Status values measure relative health, and can be associated with a status condition conveying
ameasureofconfidence in the reported value.
For example, the health of a smart cell in the SUSPENDED life cycle state can be reported with the
HEALTHY hos
t status value, which means the RISS operating system and applications a re functioning as
they should be.
PCC views often use status and state loosely and interchangeably when referring to hosts and services.
State is always used when referring to smart cell life cycle states , but status and state are both used when
reporting s
mart cell health, since smart c ells are regarded as a host like a ny other. PCC views also
refer to st
atus conditions as states or state types.

Life cycle state Definition
Impor ta nce
ASSIGNED
The cell i s assigned to a domain.
The cell is available for document storage, search, and
retrieval. If backup is enabled, cell data can be backed
up.
normal
CLOSED
The cell is full.
It is available for document search and retrieval, but not
storage. If backup is enabled, all cell data was backed
up before the cell entered this state.
normal
COMPLETE_PROCESSING
Data in
dexing is being completed.
The cell is full. It is available for document search and
retrieval, but not storage. If backup is enabled, cell data
can be backed up.

ance
BACKING_UP
The cell is available for document search and retrieval.
If backup is enabled, the cell is backing up all its
indexes and new data that has not yet been backed up.

SYNC_WAIT
The cell is available for document search and retrieval.
