78 Storage Management Message Reference
Alert Message Format with Substitution
Variables
When you view an alert in the Server Administrator alert log, the alert identifies
the specific components such as the controller name or the virtual disk name to
which the alert applies. In an actual operating environment, a storage system
can have many combinations of controllers and disks as well as user-defined
names for virtual disks and other components. Because each environment is
unique in its storage configuration and user-defined names, an accurate alert
message requires that the Storage Management Service be able to insert the
environment-specific names of storage components into an alert message.
This environment-specific information is inserted after the alert message text
as shown for alert 2127 in Table 4-1.
For other alerts, the alert message text is constructed from information
passed directly from the controller (or another storage component) to the
Alert Log. In these cases, the variable information is represented with a %
(percent sign) in the Storage Management documentation. An example of
such an alert is shown for alert 2334 in Table 4-1.
The variables required to complete the message vary depending on the type
of storage object and whether the storage object is in a SCSI or SAS
configuration. The following table identifies the possible variables used to
identify each storage object.
NOTE: Some alert messages relating to an enclosure or an enclosure component,
such as a fan or EMM, are generated by the controller when the enclosure or
enclosure component ID cannot be determined.
