2. Open the System Summary tab to review the overall health of the messaging system hardware,
Exchange, and firmware.
If the status icon is green, the system is running properly. A yellow icon is a warning that there
are conditions that might cause a problem. If the icon is red, a problem exists in the messaging
system.
3. Open each tab in the HP E5000 System Manager to assess the status of the messaging system.
4. Follow the instructions provided on the System Manager tabs for any reported issue.
NOTE: The E5000 System Manager provides the status of each server blade that is configured
in the messaging system. Be sure to note the server blade that is being assessed when you open
the E5000 System Manager. Log into each server blade to evaluate its status.
IMPORTANT: The System Manager identifies the server blade and bay location. You must run
the System Manager beginning with server blade 1, although server blade 1 might not be the
active server blade. A message appears informing you that the System Manager is evaluating
server blade 1.
