Event Log
You can use the Event Log Viewer to view a detailed list of events that occur in a storage array. The event log is stored
on reserved areas on the storage array disks. It records configuration events and storage array component failures. The
event log stores approximately 8000 events before it replaces an event with a new event. If you want to keep the events,
you may save them, and clear them from the event log.
The MD Storage Manager records the following events:
• Critical events — Errors occurring on the storage array that needs to be addressed immediately. Loss of data
access may occur if the error is not immediately corrected.
• Warning events — Errors occurring on the storage array resulting in degraded performance or reduced ability
to recover from additional errors. Access to data has not been lost, but the must be corrected to prevent
possible loss of data access in the event of an additional error.
• Informational events — Events occurring on the storage array that do not impact normal operations. This event
is reporting a change in configuration or other information useful in evaluating the performance of the storage
array.
• Debug events — Events occurring on the storage array that provides information useful in determining steps or
states that led to the error. This information may be useful to your Technical Support representative in helping
determine error causes.
The event log window has the following event views:
• Summary view — Shows an event summary in a tabular format.
• Detail view — Shows details about a selected event.
