Understanding the Monitor Tool Views
The Monitor Tool allows you to select different views to see specific information about the network or about an
individual component.
Using System View
General View displays each of the Storage Managers, chassis switches, and power supplies in your configuration.
Managers flash gray if there is no communication between the System Director and a rack — for instance, if an
Avid ISIS Storage Blade (ISB) is rebooting. Managers currently experiencing a failure appear grayed out. The
Monitor Tool displays a Component Missing icon for any empty Storage Manager, chassis switch, or power supply
slot that is empty.
In addition, the Monitor Tool displays the following symbols to indicate problems with the Storage Managers.
