Property

Definition

Status

These icons represent the severity or health of the storage component. See "Storage Component Severity" for more information.

Name

This property displays the name of the temperature probe.

State

This property displays the current status of the temperature probe.

Ready — The temperature probe is functioning normally.

Degraded — The temperature probe has suffered a failure and is operating in a degraded state.

Failed — The temperature probe has suffered a failure and is no longer functioning. Storage Management may also be unable to communicate with the enclosure using SES commands. The Failed state is displayed when the enclosure does not respond to a status query from Storage Management for any reason. For example, disconnecting the cable would cause this state to be displayed.

Minimum Warning Threshold Exceeded — The enclosure's temperature has dropped below the minimum warning threshold. See "Set Temperature Probe Values" for more information.

Maximum Warning Threshold Exceeded — The enclosure's temperature has risen above the maximum warning threshold. See "Set Temperature Probe Values" for more information.

Missing — The temperature probe is not present in the enclosure.

Inactive — The temperature probe is present in the enclosure, but the EMM that it monitors is not installed.

Reading

This property displays the current temperature of the enclosure as reported by the temperature probe.
