REMARQUE : When in Maintenance mode, the DR Series system navigation panel displays the following options
that are links to display the correspond page in the DR Series system GUI:
• Alerts
• Events
• Health
• Usage
• Diagnostics
• Software Upgrade
Once the DR Series system enters Maintenance mode, there can only be two possible outcome states:
• Operational mode (Normal State): where the filesystem check was successful, and no system files need to be
repaired (Filesystem Check: successful).
• Maintenance mode has halted: where the filesystem check detected one or more repairable files (Filesystem
Check: unsuccessful).
Filesystem Check — Successful: when the Maintenance mode successfully completes all of its stages, the DR Series
system displays its status as having entered Operational mode (Normal State). Only after the Maintenance mode has
successfully completed its internal check can it return to an Operational mode.
To return to the Operational mode, click Go to Dashboard on the Maintenance Mode page options bar. Go to Dashboard
is only active when all of the internal system checks have completed and the progress bar indicates that all stages have
been completed.
REMARQUE : You may encounter issues when using data management agents (DMAs) such as NetBackup with
expired backup images when the DR Series system is in its Maintenance mode.
REMARQUE : When in Maintenance mode, image expiration fails because the DR Series system is in a read-only
state. If this occurs, the DMA assumes that the backup images have expired. However, the DR Series system
administrator may be unaware that the backup data images still reside on the DR Series system.
Filesystem Check — Unsuccessful: when the Maintenance mode halts at the Completed Generating Report stage, this
indicates that the filesystem check detected some repairable files, and listed them in the Repair Report pane on the
Maintenance Mode page.
To return to the Operational mode, click Confirm Repair Filesystem on the Maintenance Mode page options bar to repair
the files listed in the Repair Report. Confirm Repair Filesystem is the only active option you can select when the progress
bar indicates that some filesystem files are in need of repair.
About the DR Series System Support Mode
Generally, the DR Series system enters its Support mode only because of one of the following reasons:
• The filesystem has encountered an issue that could not be resolved by running the internal Maintenance mode.
• Some system processes failed to start properly.
• The system detected an unsupported configuration.
