Interpreting the Event Summary Data

The Event Summary table has five columns, which are described in this table.

Column Description
Date/Time

The date and time stamp of the event, according to the clock.

Note – The Event Log initially sorts events based on sequence number (shown in the event details). Usually, this sequence corresponds to the date/time. However, the two controller clocks in the storage subsystem could be unsynchronized. In this case, some perceived inconsistencies could appear in the Event Log relative to events and the date/time shown. Select Storage Subsystem >> Set Controller Clocks to synchronize storage subsystem controller clocks with the clock on your .

Priority

Two priority values:

  • Critical
    – A problem exists with the storage subsystem. However, if you take immediate action, you might prevent losing access to data. Critical events are used for alert notifications. All critical events are sent to any network management station (through SNMP traps) or to the email recipient that you configured by selecting Edit >> Alert in the Enterprise Management Window.
  • Information
    – Non-critical information related to the storage subsystem.

Component Type

The component affected by the event. The component could be hardware, such as a disk drive or a controller, or it could be software, such as a or controller .

Component Location

The physical location of the component in the storage subsystem.
