Figure 13-1 Storage Subsystem Support Tab
13.1 Troubleshoot and maintenance
This is the first section of the DS3000 Storage Manager Support tab. It covers very useful
links to troubleshoot your storage subsystem and to perform some maintenance tasks.
13.1.1 View Event Log
Use this link to view a list of events that occur on your storage subsystem. The event log is
stored on reserved areas on the disk drives in the storage subsystem. It records configuration
events and the failure of storage subsystem components. You can set the event log to show
only critical events. All critical events are sent to the SNMP management console or to the
email recipient that you have configured to receive alert notifications (as described in
“Configure Alerts” on page 123). The event log shows a summary for each event in the list,
including:
Date/Time
The date and time that the event occurred. The date and time are set from the controller
clocks.
Priority: Critical or Informational
A critical event shows a problem with the storage subsystem. Critical events should be
investigated immediately, in order to maintain access to the data.
