Event Log

You can use the Event Log Viewer to view a detailed list of events that occur

in a storage array. The event log is stored on reserved areas on the storage array

disks. It records configuration events and storage array component failures.

WARNING:

Use this option only under the guidance of your Technical Support

representative.

The event log stores approximately 8000 events before it replaces an event

with a new event. If you want to keep the events, you may save them, and

clear them from the event log.
The event log shows two types of event views:

• Summary view—Shows an event summary in a tabular format.
• Detail view—Shows details about a selected event.

To view the event log:

1 In the AMW, select AdvancedTroubleshootingView Event Log.

The

Event Log is displayed. By default, the summary view is displayed.

2 To view the details of each selected log entry, select View details.

A detail pane is added to the event log that contains detailed information

about the log item. You can view the details about a single log entry at a

time.

3 To save the event log, click Save As.

The

Save Events dialog is displayed.

4 Navigate to the relevant folder, enter the relevant file name, and click

Save.

5 To erase all log entries from the event log, click Clear All.
6 To exit the event log, click Close.
