Status Type Values Definition
Degraded The cluster is not functioning at an optimal level. This may indicate
non-functioning remote virtual volumes, unhealthy devices or storage
volumes, suspended devices, conflicting director count configuration
values, out-of-date devices, and so forth.
Unknown Metro node cannot determine the cluster's health state, or the state is
invalid.
Critical failure The cluster is not functioning and may have failed completely. This may
indicate a complete loss of back-end connectivity through all directors in
the cluster.
Major failure The cluster is failing and some functionality may be degraded or
unavailable. This may indicate a loss of back-end connectivity through
one or more (but not all) directors. When any director has issues with
field replacement or if the required number of uninterrupted power
supplies is not detected. If any one of the directors is waiting to gain
quorum or unvaulting. Example:
Major-failure: engine-2-1 : director-2-1-A :
Director has not gained quorum Major-failure:
director is unvaulting
Minor failure The cluster is functioning, but some functionality may be degraded. This
may indicate one or more unreachable storage volumes.
LOCAL_COM OK All LOCAL-COM links have the expected connectivity: this port-group is
operating correctly.
warning Some links have unexpected connectivity. This port-group is operational
but not properly configured. Performance may not be optimal.
error Some connectivity is missing from this port-group. It is not operating
correctly.
fail All connectivity is missing from this port-group. LOCAL-COM is not
operational.
WAN_COM OK The WAN COM switch is operating normally
full All port-groups have a status of either ok or warning. wan-com
connectivity is complete through minor configuration errors may still
exist. See individual port-group statuses.
partial Some port-groups have a status of error or fail, but at least one port-
group has a status of OK or warning. wan-com is operating (possibly
minimally) through at least one channel. Performance is degraded.
none All port-groups have a status of either error or fail. wan-com is not
operational.
not-applicable The system is a single-cluster (i.e. metro node Local) system. Validating
wan-com connectivity is not applicable.
Product version
The Product Version dialog box shows the following product version details for the cluster:
Product Version
The product version of GeoSynchrony running on the cluster.
SMSv2 The version of SMSv2 running on the management server.
Mgmt server
base
The version of base software running on the management server.
