A normal event is informational and requires no action by you. An example of a normal event would be the controller reporting that creation of a virtual disk has completed. An example of an exceptional event would be a disk enclosure that has lost communication on a Fibre Channel loop.
CAUTION: Uninitializing an array deletes all of the controller events cached in the controllers.
For more information about uninitializing an array, see “Uninitializing storage systems” (page 47).
Controller termination event log
Controller termination events report that a controller has ceased operation, but do not report on controllers in uninitialized arrays.
