Appendix A.  Disk Array Controller Log 

The array controller continually monitors all components of the disk array, and logs any information that may be of helpful in 
evaluating the performance and operation of the array. All aspects of array operation are logged, including:  

• 

changes to the operating status of the array 

• 

changes to the configuration of the array 

• 

performance data 

• 

port error statistics 

 
Table 1 lists all event codes that can appear in the controller log event pages. The table also includes events that are not 
logged, but can still generate SCSI sense data. Appropriate corrective action is included for all events that require it. Many 
events are informational and require no action on the part of the user. The Suspected Component column lists the hardware 
components potentially implicated by the event code.
