Chapter 11: Monitoring Your Storage Space ● 100
Monitoring Options
Adaptec Storage Manager provides many ways to monitor the status of
your storage space:
● Event Viewer—The main window of Adaptec Storage Manager
includes an Event Viewer that provides at-a-glance status
information about activity occurring in your storage space. (See
page 101.)
●
Status Icons
—Three basic icons (information, warning, and error)
appear in the Event Viewer and in the main Adaptec Storage Manager
window to help you quickly identify problems. (See page 102.)
● Notification Manager and Email Notification Manager—
Notification utilities help you monitor these activities on local and
remote systems (see page 103 and page 111):
● Progress of scheduled tasks, such as logical drive verifications.
● Changes in the status of the physical components of your storage
space, such as disk drives.
● Changes to the local system, such as the expansion of a logical
drive expansion or the creation of a hot spare.
● Audible Alarm—A series of beeps sounds whenever a serious event
occurs on your storage space. (See page 121.)
● Properties Button—You can check the status of any component in
your storage space by using the Properties button. (See page 122.)
