About This View
This view shows the status of all the power supplies, cabinet
blowers, and I/O fans in the
complex. Use this view to monitor the physical environment
of the complex, check the high availability status, and
find failed components.
The power and cooling domains are shown for each cabinet in
the complex, grouped as appropriate to the cabinet type.
Device Groups
The following device groups are shown in this view.
- Cabinet Blowers / Cabinet Fans
Cabinet blowers provide
the main air flow through HP
Superdome-class Compute cabinets. On rp-class and
rx-class partitionable systems, the
term used is “cabinet fans”.
- Backplane Power
Power for the cell interconnect backplane. Not all server models contain
backplane power.
- I/O Fans
I/O fans provide cooling for I/O
chassis.
- Cabinet Power
Bulk power supplies provide the primary power source for cells and other components in the cabinet.
If the cabinet includes additional power and cooling devices, they will be
displayed after these device groups.
Device Group Summary Table
The overall status of each device group is shown in a summary table with the
following fields.
Table 1 Power & Cooling Device Fields | HA Status |
The high availability status of the
component. One of the following:
- Not Applicable
High availability checks do not apply to this type of device
in this type of cabinet.
- N+
This device group can experience a device failure and still
function normally.
- N
This device group has just enough good devices to function
normally. Failure of a device may (or may not) cause the
cabinet to shut down.
- N-
This device group does not have enough good components to
function normally. If a cabinet is running and goes into an
N- cooling state, then the cabinet will be
automatically shut down. If a cabinet has an
N- power state, then devices cannot be
powered on. This means that if the cabinet is running, it will
continue running, but no additional devices can be powered
on. If the cabinet is off and comes up in the N- power state,
then none of its devices will be powered on.
| ![[active/ok status icon]](up_arrow.gif) | OK |

| ![[failed status icon]](circle.gif) | Failed |
The number of devices in this group that have failed.
| | Maximum |
The maximum number of devices in this group that can be installed in
this cabinet.

Individual Device Status
Following the device group summary table, each individual device in the group is
displayed with its device number and status icon:
If you position the mouse cursor over a device icon, a pop-up tool
tip will display the complete name of the device and its status.
Actions
At the right side of each view is a menu of actions that
Partition Manager can perform. These actions are grouped into six submenus. To expand
a submenu, click on the
icon to the left
of the submenu name. The actions under that submenu will be
shown, and the icon will change to
.
Click on that icon to collapse the submenu. The actions under the submenu will be
hidden, and the icon will change back to
.
When Partition Manager begins, each submenu is collapsed. When you
change views, submenus that you have expanded will remain
expanded, and submenus that are collapsed will remain collapsed.
Not all actions appear in the menu in each view.
Some actions that do appear in the menu are disabled under certain conditions.
Actions that are disabled are dimmed in the menu and cannot be clicked.
Actions are enabled or disabled based on the current state of the
system and which objects are currently selected.
If you position the mouse cursor over the name of an action without clicking,
a pop-up tool tip will appear.
If the action is currently enabled, the text will explain what the action does.
If the action is currently disabled, the text will explain why it is disabled.
The following table shows the actions that are enabled in this view. Actions that
cannot be enabled in this view are not included.
To the right of each submenu and action is a brief
description, including any requirements for the action to be
enabled. If the required conditions are not met, then the
action will be dimmed in the menu, and it cannot be
selected. Click on an action name to go to the detailed
help for that action.
