D.2 Displaying the Event Log
The SM’s event log contains important information about the status of the Galaxy 65, disks, and arrays.
You should check it regularly for each SM to monitor the status of your system.
Below is a list of some of the key warning and failure events included in the event log during operation:
• Disk detected error
• Disk channel error
• Battery failure
•Drive down
• Power up
• Array critical
• Array offline
• Temperature warning
• Temperature failure (this leads to a shutdown which is also logged)
• Voltage warning
• Voltage failure (this leads to a shutdown which is also logged)
The event log stores the most recent 400 events. Events have a time stamp next to them with one-second
granularity.
Note If you are having a problem with the Galaxy 65 Subsystem or an array, check the event log before calling
technical support. Event messages may let you resolve the problem without calling.
You can view the event information three ways:
• Most recent event
• One event at a time, most recent event first
• Full screen of events at a time
You can also capture the event log to a file. See D.2.4, ”Capturing the Event Log”, on page 157.
