Why cant you get into the device? I think best to check the device log

I did some research and looks like the fault light means either a bad hard drive or bad fan, but I hope it is nothing to do with hardware.<br />
<br />
Is there another to get into the FAS2020 besides the web browser (which is not working for me due to the fault light)?

I have a FAS2020 that mysteriously locked up on me. The yellow/orange light next to the question mark on the front of the FAS came on out of nowhere while all my virtual servers were running. I tried accessing the FAS from the web browser but nothing comes up. I've physically restarted the FAS a few times but the yellow/orange error light stays on and I can't get into the FAS to see whats going on. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Thanks

FAS2020 Locked Up

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
