Monitoring a storage system

You can use event messages, the AutoSupport feature, statistics, and environmental component sensors to monitor a storage system.

The cluster administrator can perform all system monitoring tasks.

  • Managing AutoSupport
    AutoSupport is a mechanism that monitors the health of your system and automatically sends messages to technical support, your internal support organization, and a support partner.You must set the correct options and have a valid mail host to have messages sent to your internal support organization if AutoSupport is enabled.
  • Monitoring the health of your system
    Health monitors monitor certain critical conditions in your cluster and raise alerts if they detect a fault or risk. If there are active alerts, the system health status reports a degraded status for the cluster. The alerts include the information that you need to respond to degraded system health.
  • Displaying environmental information
    Sensors help you monitor the environmental components of your system. The information you can display about environmental sensors include their type, name, state, value, and threshold warnings.
