Checking for Problems and Alarms
In the details pane, if the Service State value is Service Required and shows a red
triangle, the resource is not functioning. If the Service State value is Attention Required
and shows a yellow triangle, the resource is not functioning normally.
In all the panes, if a resource is not functioning, it is red as indicated in Table 3-3
.
However, the color propagated up through all objects that contain the nonfunctioning
component (up to the system icon) is yellow. If you notice that the system, group, and
module icons are yellow, they contain a resource that is either nonfunctioning (red) or
needing attention (yellow). To help identify nonfunctioning objects, an alarm always
occurs when an object is nonfunctioning (red).
All resources also have at least one other state attribute that provides further
information about why the resource is down or degraded. TSM attributes include
Battery State, Fan State, Processor State, and, for most adapters, SCF State. OSM
attributes include Power State, Enabled State, Processor State, and Device State.
