Monitor hardware health for SRM
SRM offers hardware health monitoring for selected arrays, giving you immediate insight into hardware issues in your storage environment. Monitoring hardware health on storage arrays gives access to the status and values of onboard sensors. In addition to displaying this data on the Hardware Health page for the array, you can set thresholds to use in monitoring and alerts.
Hardware health data is collected when the storage array is polled for statistics/performance data. By default this is every 15 minutes, although this can be amended for individual devices.
SRM hardware health metrics
The hardware health metrics available for monitoring an array depend on the vendor and model.
This table assumes that the latest firmware is installed on the array. Status monitoring may vary on older versions.
The table shows only sensors that provide statuses; some sensors, such as SpCards and Storage Controllers, are present in hardware health but they are only used to aggregate sensors.
Hardware health data is available for the following arrays and sensors:

SRM hardware health widgets
If you have an array for which hardware health monitoring is enabled, the Hardware Health Overview widget is available. In addition, a hardware health tab is available to display the Hardware Details, Current Hardware Health, and Hardware Health widgets.
The tab is not displayed for arrays that do not currently support hardware health monitoring.
| Hardware Health Overview |
Shows the number of storage arrays and nodes that have hardware heath monitoring enabled, by status. Click on the icon to list the devices with this status. |
| Lists hardware details such as status, manufacturer, model and last polling time for the selected array. | |
| Current Hardware Health |
Lists the sensors enabled for the selected array, showing status and current value if applicable. Click Manage Sensors to open the Enable hardware health monitoring for SRM page. |
| Hardware Health | Shows a performance chart for each sensor over a selected period. |
