About the LCD Messages
The display module is capable of holding up to 100 messages. Once this
maximum size has been reached, older messages will be removed to make room
for newer ones. Messages can be of three types: error, informational, and user
input.
The display message may specify a box number. The following box numbers are
defined.
■ Box 1 is the MSA1000 chassis.
■ Box 2 is the storage enclosure attached to SCSI port A of the MSA1000.
■ Box 3 is the storage enclosure attached to SCSI port B of the MSA1000.
Error Messages
Error messages indicate that a problem has occurred and may require user action
to correct it. A complete list of possible messages and their meanings is contained
in this appendix.
An amber indicator to the left of the display text display window will be turned on
when ever an error message is currently being viewed. This indicator will also be
turned on if an error message was sent to the display module but has not been
viewed because non-error type messages were sent to the display module
afterwards. By scrolling backwards and viewing all error messages, the indicator
will return to only lighting up when currently on an error message.
Informational Messages
Informational messages indicate non-critical changes in the system that are
provided as feedback to the user. A complete list of possible messages and their
meanings is contained in this appendix.
The amber indicator to the left of the display text display window will normally be
turned off whenever an informational message is currently being viewed unless an
unviewed error message was previously sent to the display module. By scrolling
backwards and viewing all error messages, the indicator will return to only
lighting up when currently on an error message.
User Input Messages
User input messages indicate that the system has encountered an issue that can be
handled in two different ways. It allows the user to either choose which way to
handle the issue or it will default to a standard choice after a set period of time.
