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 100 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. A failure occurred that may cause a controller to shut down. Correct the problem immediately.
Error. A failure occurred that may affect data integrity or system stability. Correct the problem as soon as
possible.
Warning. A problem occurred that may affect system stability but not data integrity. Evaluate the problem and
correct it if necessary.
Informational. A configuration or state change occurred, or a problem occurred that the system corrected. No
action is required.
• Time. Date and time when the event occurred, shown as year-month-day hour:minutes:seconds. 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. An event code that helps you and support personnel diagnose problems. For event-code descriptions and
recommended actions, see the Event Descriptions Reference Guide.
• Message. Brief information about the event. Click the message to show or hide additional information and
recommended actions.
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.
