appears in the MP Blade category for the XP disk arrays,
as the MP blade related metrics are applicable only for
the P9000 disk arrays.
Further, the status icon (Critical) takes precedence over the (Major) and (Normal) status
icons. For example, the Frontend statistics for a P9500 Disk Array shows that the usage of all
components is either at the normal level or almost reaching the defined threshold limits. However,
the overall usage status in the Frontend category still displays as (Critical). It implies that there
might be one or more components in the Frontend category whose usage has crossed the defined
threshold limit for a particular metric during the specified threshold duration. Such components
need your immediate attention. For more information, see “Dashboard statistics” (page 107).
The overall usage status of an XP or a P9000 disk array in a category is based on the usage of
components in that category. The usage data is collected only on those metrics whose threshold
limits are set on the Threshold Setting screen.
For example, assume that you have set the threshold limit for only the RG Seq Reads (IOPS) (Avg
Seq Reads) metric in the Backend category. The status icon displayed in the XP/P9000 Array
Health section in the Backend category is based on the usage of individual components
corresponding to the RG Seq Reads (IOPS) (Avg Seq Reads) metric during the specified threshold
duration.
