Error and Notification Messages

Error and notification messages are issued by the 3ware RAID controller when an error is detected or when an action is completed. These messages are sometimes referred to as AENs (asynchronous event notifications).

AEN messages are displayed on the 3DM 2 Alarms page.

On the 3DM 2 Alarms page, you can click on the message to jump to help text about that message. You can also look the message up in the list below. In 3DM 2, the message number is the last few digits within the parentheses at the beginning of the message description. For example, in the string (0x04:0x002B), “002B” is the message number. To find additional information about the message 2B, you would look up 002B in the list below.

Note that the messages are listed below in hex order, since the message numbers are in hex.

Error and notification messages are summarized in Table 9. Descriptions of each are provided after the table.
