During these operations, the management server displays its status at regular intervals. To view logs for these operations:
1.Select Tasks & Logs > View Storage Essentials Log.
2.To obtain the latest status, click Get Latest Messages.
If the software is unable to discover or obtain information about a device, the log messages might provide some information about where the problem occurred.
For example, if a host was not discovered, the log messages might indicate that the provider configuration for that device was never created. This could mean the software was given the wrong user name and/or password for that host. As a result, the software logged onto the host with a guest account, which does not have enough permissions to start Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
NOTE: The logs show data from the most recent discovery, test, or data collection task.
IMPORTANT: Look at Event Manager for additional information. For more information, see ”About Event Manager” on page 329.
