The Alarms display (see Figure 52) keeps a log of all alarms, also
called Automatic Event Notifications (AENs), that have occurred
on the disk arrays. An alarm occurs when the ATA RAID controller
requires attention, such as when a disk array becomes degraded and
is no longer fault tolerant. SMART notifications appear in this dis-
play. Alarm messages are categorized by the following levels of
severity:
• Errors, shown next to a red box
• Warnings, shown next to a yellow box
• Information, shown next to a blue box
The Download Error Log button allows you to save the alarm
messages and SMART data to disk. If necessary, the saved file can
be shipped to 3ware Customer Support for troubleshooting assis-
tance. A button is also provided to erase the logged data. The
SMART data is displayed in hex format and may appear to be gar-
bled if displayed on an ASCII text editor. To read the SMART data,
use a program that can display hex data.
The Extended Error Log is a text file that records AEN informa-
tion along with the AEN’s severity. If the severity of the AEN is of
"Error" level, a capture of the Download Error Log is also provided
in the Extended Error Log. The location of the Extended Error Log
text file is listed at the bottom of the Alarms page.
Note:
The controller number is automatically assigned
by Windows. Controllers 0 and 1 are typically the on-
board motherboard ATA controllers. If the next control-
ler in the system is a 3ware controller, it would be
assigned to controller 2. Subsequent controllers would
be 3, 4, etc. A SCSI card from another manufacturer
would also be assigned a controller number.
