• Temperature failure (this leads to a shutdown which is also logged)
• Voltage warning
• Voltage failure (this leads to a shutdown which is also logged)
The event log stores the most recent 400 events. Events have a time
stamp next to them with one-second granularity.
NOTE: If you are having a problem with the EF2800 or an array, check
the event log before calling technical support. Event messages may let you
resolve the problem without calling.
You can view the event information three ways:
• Most recent event
• One event at a time, most recent event first
• Full screen of events at a time
You can also capture the event log to a file. See E.2.4 on page 264 .
E.2.1 Viewing the Most Recent Event
When you first access the Disk Array Administrator software, any
events that have occurred display. Informational events scroll by
automatically. Warning events (yellow text on a black background) and
error events (white text on a red background) display until you press
<Enter> or <Esc
> . Once all the events display, the initial screen
displays. The initial screen alternates between displaying the date,
time, and temperature and the model number of your hardware.
You can bypass all events by pressing <Tab>.
E.2.2 Viewing One Event at a Time
You can view an SM’s events one at a time. The events display in reverse
chronological order, that is, the most recent event is first.
If an event displays several parameters, you can see all of them when
you view the log one event at a time. When you view a whole screen of
events, some parameters may be truncated.
