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:

Table 1. Event severity
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.
