Alert Descriptions and Corrective Actions
The following sections describe alerts generated by the RAID or SCSI controllers supported by Storage
Management. The alerts are displayed in the Server Administrator Alert subtab or through Windows
Event Viewer. These alerts can also be forwarded as SNMP traps to other applications.
SNMP traps are generated for the alerts listed in the following sections. These traps are included in the
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management management information base (MIB).
The SNMP traps for these alerts use all of the SNMP trap variables. For more information on SNMP
support and the MIB, see the SNMP Reference Guide.
To locate an alert, scroll through the following table to find the alert number displayed on the Server
Administrator Alert tab or search this file for the alert message text or number. See
"Understanding
Event Messages" for more information on severity levels.
For more information regarding alert descriptions and the appropriate corrective actions, see the online
help.
