Chapter 9: Monitoring Status and Activity ● 105
To open a full-screen version of the complete event log, click the Events button on the tool bar.
To make it easier to find a specific event, click on the column heads to sort the events. (Sorting
events by status icons helps you find specific Error- or Warning-level events quickly.) You can
also move the columns of the event log, if required.
What Do the Event Status Icons Mean?
Adaptec Storage Manager indicates event status with icons. This table lists the three categories,
or types, of events based on severity.
Warning- and Error-level icons appear next to components (such as systems and logical
drives) affected by a failure or error, creating a trail that helps you quickly identify the source
of a problem. See Identifying a Failed or Failing Component on page 137 for more information.
Note:
All Warning- and Error-level events also cause the audible alarm to sound. See page 106 for
more information.

To clear all event logs belonging to all controllers in a selected system:
1 In the Enterprise View, click on the system you want.
2 On the menu bar, select Actions, then select Clear logs on all controllers.
3 Click Ye s to clear the log.
