Viewing Master Grid Status
- Panna .
- Comala Publishing for Confluence Cloud
You can monitor the overall status, such as the Multi-Grid management service and memory usage of the Master Grid, using the Master Grid Member Status widget on the Dashboard. For information, see About the Dashboard.
You can also view the status of the Master Grid members from the Master Grid tab. To view the Master Grid member status, from the Master Grid tab, select the Members tab. Multi-Grid Manager displays information about the
Multi-Grid Master and members. When all the Master Grid members are running properly, the status is green. Multi-Grid Manager can display the following information:
Name: The name of the Multi-Grid Master or member.
HA: Indicates whether the member is an HA pair. If the member is an HA pair, Multi-Grid Manager displays the status of the HA pair.
Status: The current status of the member.
IPv4 Address: The IP address of the appliance, or the VIP of an HA pair.
Hardware Type: The hardware type of the member appliance.
Serial Number: The serial number of the appliance.
DB Utilization: The percentage of the database that is currently in use.
Comments: Information about the member.
Site: The location to which the member belongs. This is one of the predefined extensible attributes. To view detailed status, select a member checkbox, and then click the Detailed Status icon.
Multi-Grid Manager displays the Detailed Status panel. If the selected member is an HA pair, Multi-Grid Manager displays the information in two columns, one for the active node and the other for the passive. The Detailed Status panel provides detailed information described in the following sections.
For information about detailed status of the managed Grids, see Monitoring Grids.

In the event of a disk failure, you must replace the failed disk with one that is qualified and shipped from Infoblox and has the same disk type as the rest of the disks in the array. The appliance displays information about mismatched disks. The disk type of the Infoblox-2000-A can be one of the following:
IB-Type 1: Infoblox supported disk type
IB-Type 2: Infoblox supported disk type
Unk: Unknown disk type that Infoblox does not support
Infoblox-4010 uses only the IB-Type 3 disk type. All disk drives in the array must have the same disk type for the array to function properly. You can have either IB-Type 1, IB-Type 2, or IB-Type-3, but you cannot mix both in the array. When you have a mismatched disk in the array, you must promptly replace the disk with a replacement disk from Infoblox to avoid operational issues.
