Troubleshooting: Your Storage Array Software 269
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.
The event log can be used as a supplementary diagnostic tool to the Recovery
Guru for tracing storage array events. Always refer to the Recovery Guru first
when attempting to recover from component failures in the storage array.
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 window shows two types of event views:
• Summary view—Shows an event summary in a table form.
• Detail view—Shows details about a selected event.
