Viewing information about the system
In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select View > Overview. The System Overview
table shows:
• The system’s overall health:
OK. The system is operating normally.
Degraded.
Fault.
Unknown. At least one component is degraded or has a fault.
• The system's total storage space
• The overall health, quantity, and storage space of enclosures, disks, and vdisks
• The quantity and storage space of volumes and snap pools
• The quantity of snapshots and task schedules
• Configuration limits, licenses, and versions of controller firmware and hardware
For descriptions of storage-space color codes, see About storage-space color codes.
Select a component to see more information about it in a second table.
NOTE: If an I/O module in an MSA70 drive enclosure has a firmware revision below 2.18, the
enclosure's health is shown as degraded and the health reason identifies the I/O module that needs to be
updated.
Viewing the system event log
In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select View > Event Log. The System Events
panel shows the 400 most recent events that have been logged by either controller. All events are logged,
regardless of event-notification settings. Click the buttons above the table to view all events, or only critical,
warning, or informational events.
The event log table shows the following information:
• Severity.
Critical. Alerts you that the system or a vdisk has a failure that requires immediate attention.
Warning. Warns you that the system or a vdisk has a problem that you should correct as soon as
possible.
Informational. Informs you that either a change was made to the system or a problem occurred that
the system corrected; no action is required.
• Time. Date and time when the event occurred, in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. Time stamps have
one-second granularity.
• Event ID. An identifier for the event. The prefix A or B identifies the controller that logged the event.
• Code. Event code that helps you and support personnel diagnose problems. For event-code
descriptions and recommended actions, see the Event code reference appendix.
• Message. Information about the event.
NOTE: If you are having a problem with the system or a vdisk, check the event log before calling
technical support. Event messages might enable you to resolve the problem.
