4. Click RESTART on the Virtual Media - Mounts and Locks page to restart the EMS

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.
