Using The Event Viewer
The Windows SCSI driver verifies the condition of the HBA POST. If there is a
failure or a suspected failure, an error log entry is issued to the Windows Event
log.
Following is the procedure for viewing the event log.
From the Main menu:
1. Double-click or choose the Administrative Tools program group.
2. Double-click or choose the Event Viewer. The display shows a list of discrete
events specifying the source name:
■
For Windows NT, specify LPGNDS35
■
For Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003, specify CPQKGPSA.
3. Double-click any event with the source name.
4. Change the data view from Bytes (default) to Words.
5. Examine the entry at offset 0x10: if the low byte = En, match the low byte
with the error found in Table 5 , Windows NT SCSI Port Error Log. Table 6
and Table 7 list CmdStat values and Parameter error values.
