Chapter 9: Event Logs

Accessing event logs

The RAID controller has a comprehensive, non-volatile event log that can be used for monitoring controller events and error conditions. The following event types are logged: Drive Failures and Errors, Controller Failures and Errors, (SES) Enclosure, Temperature and Voltage Errors.

The maximum event log size is 4096 entries, and older events are overwritten as necessary. Some repetitive events are appended to previous events, so entries are not used up unnecessarily. A time stamp accompanies each event, so you can easily determine when the event happened. The time stamp of both controllers is synchronized to make the troubleshooting tasks easier.

To access event logs:

1 From the Main Menu, select Event Logs Menu, then press ENTER. The Select Controller Event Log Menu opens.
