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.

WARNING: Use this option only under the guidance of your Technical Support representative.

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 event log window shows two types of event views:

•Summary view—Shows an event summary in a tabular format.

•Detail view—Shows details about a selected event.

To view the event log:

1In the AMW, select Advanced→ Troubleshooting→ View Event Log. The Event Log is displayed. By default, the summary view is displayed.

2To view the details of each selected log entry, select View details.

A detail pane is added to the event log that contains detailed information about the log item. You can view the details about a single log entry at a time.

3To save the event log, click Save As.

The Save Events dialog appears, navigate to the relevant folder, enter the relevant file name, and click Save.

4To erase all log entries from the event log, click Clear All.

5To exit the event log, click Close.
