System events overview
This appendix describes event messages that can be generated by VxFlex OS.
An event message is generated as a response to changes that have occurred while the
system is running. Event messages to notify you of the changes in case your
intervention is needed. Each event message is associated with a severity level. The
severity indicates the risk (if any) to the system, in relation to the changes that
generated the event message. The severity levels are as follows:
