Hardware Status

The Hardware Status feature provides the administrator with the ability to monitor hardware information about fans, voltage, temperature, etc. on Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)-enabled devices.

Note: IWSVA hardware monitoring is only compatible with the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) with Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) v2.0 support installed on bare metal.

Administrators can query the hardware status information using the IWSVA Web console or by SNMP request. If SNMP trap is enabled, an alert will be sent when critical system events are detected, such as “temperature threshold exceeded”, “voltage threshold exceeded”, etc.

Alerts can be sent to notify administrators of any problems. They are configured at: Notification > SNMP Notifications Settings > Hardware monitoring events (check box).

The following provides a brief description of the options available on this screen:

Turn On/Off HTTP(S) Traffic | FTP Traffic—Toggle these settings to enable or disable the flow of HTTP(S) and/or FTP traffic across the LAN.

Caution: When disabled, the HTTP(S) and FTP traffic will not be scanned. All traffic will be stopped at the gateway.

	Link not detected. Could be an empty port, cable may be loose or broken, or the peer machine may be down.
	Link OK
	Link error
	Link disabled
D	Data interface
M	Management interface
H	High Availability interface

Hardware Type—shows Voltage, Fan, CPU, Storage and Temperature statistics

Status—shows the current status of the hardware. Usually it shows "Normal," but if an abnormal event occurs, it displays Critical or Failed, depending on the event. The five available status are:

Normal—Component status is ok
Warning—Component status is compromised
Critical—Component status is in danger of failing
Failed—Component is not working
