The Event Log is a detailed record of events that occur on the storage subsystem. You can use the Event Log as a supplementary diagnostic tool to Recovery Guru for tracing storage subsystem events. However, always refer to Recovery Guru first when recovering from storage subsystem component failures.

Examples of events logged to the Event Log include:

The Event Log is stored in reserved areas on the disks in the storage subsystem.

The storage management software provides a way to view and sort the data in the Event Log, refresh the display to retrieve any new events, display detailed information about a selected event, and save selected Event Log data to a file.

The Event Log contains two levels of events: Critical and Informational. Critical events are sent to any Network Management Station (through SNMP traps) or e-mail recipient you configured with the Edit >> Alert option in the Enterprise Management Window. For more information about SNMP notification, see the online help for the Enterprise Management Window .
