Acknowledging the condition of top-level resources

A summary of the conditions for storage systems, fabrics is available in the Dashboard view and on resource list pages. You can acknowledge the condition of a top-level resource so that its condition is not shown as Error, Unreachable, or Warning on those pages.

Procedure

  1. In the menu bar, go to the type of resource that has a condition you want to acknowledge.
    For example, if you want to acknowledge the condition of a block storage system, go to Resources > Block storage systems.
  2. In the list of resources, locate the resource with the Error, Unreachable, or Warning condition that you want to acknowledge.
  3. Right-click the resource and select Mark Condition as Acknowledged.
    A window shows that the condition for the specified resource was acknowledged.
  4. Optional: To acknowledge the condition of multiple resources at the same time, press Ctrl and click each resource. To select a series of resources, select the first resource, and then press Shift and click the last resource. When the resources are selected, right-click a row in the list and select Mark Condition as Acknowledged.
  5. Click Close.

Results

When you acknowledge the condition of a top-level resource, the following actions are taken:
Dashboard view
  • The condition of an acknowledged resource is not used to determine the number of errors displayed for that resource on the Operations dashboard view. For example, if you acknowledge the unreachable condition for a block storage system, the condition is not used to determine the number of errors displayed.
Resource details page
  • The condition icons at the top of the page are updated. For example, if 10 block storage systems have Unreachable conditions, and you acknowledge one of them, the total number Unreachable conditions decreases by one and the number of Unreachable - Acknowledged conditions increases by one. The following information is updated at the top of the Block storage systems page:

    Unreachable condition 9 Unreachable Unreachable - Acknowledged condition 1 Unreachable - Acknowledged

  • The value in the Condition column for the resource is updated to show an acknowledged condition. For example, if you acknowledge the Unreachable condition for a block storage system, the following value is shown in the Condition column:

    Unreachable - Acknowledged condition Unreachable
