Monitoring health of Image Streamer

You can monitor the Image Streamer appliance health using the aforementioned general health monitoring steps and also by navigating to the Deployment Appliances screen of the user interface. The Cluster configuration details on the Deployment Appliances display the management and the storage cluster health status.

During a firmware update to update the Frame Link Module and Interconnect Modules, the update proceeds only if the Image Streamer appliance cluster health status is OK and if the cabling for Image Streamer is in place. If the update is blocked due to an unhealthy Image Streamer appliance or improper cabling, an alert is displayed. You can also view the details of the alert and a resolution for the error using the Activity screen.
