Storage Management Alert
Reference
Storage Management’s alert or event management features let you monitor
the health of storage resources such as controllers, connectors, array disks,
and virtual disks.
Alert Monitoring and Logging
The Storage Management Service performs alert monitoring and logging.
By default, the Storage Management Service starts when the managed system
starts up. If you stop the Disk Management Service, then alert monitoring
and logging stops. Alert monitoring does the following:
• Updates the status of the storage object that generated the alert.
• Propagates the storage object’s status to all the related higher objects in
the storage hierarchy. For example, the status of a lower-level object are
propagated up to the status displayed on the Health tab for the top-level
storage object.
• Logs an alert into the Alert log and Microsoft Windows application log.
• Sends an Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap if the
operating system’s SNMP service is installed and enabled.
NOTE: Storage Management does not log alerts regarding the data I/O path. These
alerts are logged by the respective RAID drivers in the system alert log.
