Managing the Data Cluster Module

After a data cluster module is added, it is connected to the storage system and detects hardware of the storage system. When it detects a risk, it reports an alarm. You can view alarms reported by the data cluster module on DeviceManager. Some hardware models do not support this function. For details about hardware models that support this function, see Product Description published on the technical support website or consult your product provider.
