Severity Calculation for status/state events

For a number of the array status events, an event severity is calculated dynamically from the status of the component in question (or overall array). In most cases, the mapping to severity is as follows:

Severity

Meaning

Normal

The component is now (back) in a normal state of operation.

Info

The component is no longer present (during certain operations).

Warning

The component is in a degraded sate of operation.

The storage array is no longer present (during certain operations).

The component is in an unknown state.

The component is (where possible) in a write-disabled state.

Major

The component is offline.

Fatal

The component is in a dead or failed state.
