Monitoring Controllers and Its Attached Devices The MegaRAID Storage Manager software enables you to monitor the activity of all the controllers present in the system and the devices attached to them. When you perform an operation on devices (such as the creation of a new virtual drive) or when devices automatically go from an optimal state to a different state (such as a created virtual drive goes to a degraded state or a Battery Backup Unit goes bad), the MegaRAID Storage Manager software gets those events from the controller and gives a notification to you, using different alert delivery methods. This section contains the following topics: • Alert Delivery Methods • Configuring Alert Notifications • Monitoring Server Events • Monitoring Controllers • Monitoring Drives • Monitoring Virtual Drives • Monitoring Enclosures • Monitoring Rebuilds and Other Processes Alert Delivery Methods Based on the severity level (Information, Warning, Critical and Fatal), the default alert delivery methods change. By default, each severity level has one or more alert delivery methods configured for it, as shown in Table 1. To modify these alert delivery methods, see Configuring Alert Notifications. The different alert delivery methods are as follows: • Vivaldi Log/MegaRAID Storage Manager Log • System Log • Pop-up Notification • E-mail Notification DB09-000202-05 37857-02 Monitoring Controllers and Its Attached Devices Rev.
