d. Click SAVE to save all changes.
3. Click RESTART on the Virtual Media - Mounts and Locks page to restart the EMS 
service. Or, click Start EMS Service on the Supervisory Functions page. You must start 
or restart the service to enable VTS to reread the configuration file.
The following table lists the messages that are generated by VTS. Here is an explanation of 
the information for each EMS message:
• The message text. 
Some of the text in the messages and errors is parameterized, as indicated by the dollar 
sign ($). In a real message, the parameterized text is replaced by a real value. For 
example, the host system that initiated the request is represented in the message text as 
$host, but an actual message displays the real hostname, such as DEV2.
• The severity of the message. The levels of severity include the following:
• Informational (Inform) — A normal operation has occurred.
• Warning — A suspicious operation, configuration, or user error has occurred. The 
system or application can handle the error with no interruption and limited 
degradation of service.
• Critical — A system or service error has occurred. The system can recover but a 
momentary loss or permanent degradation of service may occur.
• The recommended action to take.
