8. SIMULATING THE HARDWARE STATUS
While the equipment is running in simulation mode, monitoring of the actual
hardware status is disabled. Errors including fan failure and abnormal
temperature cannot be detected. You must never use this equipment in
simulation mode for business use. Use the simulation function only for testing a
user application and checking the notification interface of the RAS software.
NOTE
• In simulation mode, when the drive failure prediction function records an event
(Event ID: 265) of SMART detection in the event log, a string "XXXXXXXX" is
used for the model name of the drive.
Also note that you cannot simulate a situation that the drive condition is
"Unknown" or multiple conditions (for example, SMART detection and used
hours exceeded) occur at the same time.
• RAID status is automatically updated based on the condition of the drives.
Note that you cannot simulate a situation in which the RAID status is
"Unknown" or "Fail" or a situation in which media errors occur.
