Controller Head

This topic applies to XInsight-managed systems running QSM 4.2 or later, XEVO 3.2 or later, or KSM 1.1 or later.

The Controller Head page provides system identification and hardware health information for the selected storage system. Use this page to check the overall controller status, system model, hardware module status, and temperature status.

Go to Monitor > Controller Head to view the controller head information. The information and hardware components displayed on this page may vary depending on the storage system model and hardware configuration.

View System Information #

Select System Info to view the overall controller status and identification information for the selected storage system

  • Host name
  • Model name
  • Serial number
  • Controller status: Indicates the overall operating condition of the controller head.
  • Master controller: Identifies the controller currently serving as the master controller.
  • To locate the storage system physically, click Turn On under UID LED.

View Module Status #

Select Modules to check the operating status of the hardware modules installed in or supported by the controller head, such as power supplies, fans, flash modules, and SuperCap modules.

Hardware components may display one of the following statuses:

  • Normal: The component is installed and operating as expected.
  • Warning: The component is detected but is not operating normally. Check the component connection and related system events.
  • Absent: The component is not installed in the system.

If a module displays Warning, verify that the component is properly connected. An Absent status indicates that the component is not installed in the system.

View Temperature Status #

Select Temperature to check the thermal status of the controller head and monitored hardware components.

Temperature items can display the following statuses:

  • Normal: The temperature is within the normal operating range.
  • Warning: The temperature is outside the normal operating range. Check the cooling fans, system airflow, ambient temperature, and related system events.
  • Absent: The corresponding hardware component is not installed or detected, so no temperature status is available.
