Viewing Alarms
The Alarms page in 3DM shows a log of all events (also called Asynchronous
Event Notifications, or AENs) that have occurred on units. These events
include alarms that occur when the 3ware RAID controller requires attention,
such as when a disk unit becomes degraded and is no longer fault tolerant.
They also include SMART notifications, and informational notification, such
as when sectors have been repaired during verification.
Alarm messages are categorized by the following levels of severity:
• Errors, shown next to a red box
• Warnings, shown next to a yellow box
• Information, shown next to a blue box
3DM can e-mail notifications of these events to one or more recipients. For
more information, see “Managing E-mail Event Notification” on page 81.
