Storage Manager Events Events are generated for detected fault conditions as well as RAID status changes, and are described as follows: Soft Error Recoverable Hard Error Nonrecoverable Hard Error Status Change An operation on a hard drive that caused an error, but was successful after a retry. An error on a hard drive, controller, or peripheral bus, where the data was recovered using ECC or from redundant array information. An error on a hard drive, controller, or peripheral bus where the data could not be recovered using ECC or from redundant array information. The status of an array or drive changed. Examples of this would be a drive or array failure, or an array build or rebuild operation that was initiated or completed. Event Log When events occur, they are automatically logged in the cache on the RAID controller where they occurred. In addition, you can specify that Storage Manager maintain an event log on disk (see Event Broadcaster on page 3-37). To display the contents of the event log, click Event Log in any controller, drive, or array information window. Only the events reported for the selected device or array are displayed. 3-35

Storage Manager
Events
Events are generated for detected fault conditions as well as RAID
status changes, and are described as follows:
Event Log
When events occur, they are automatically logged in the cache on
the RAID controller where they occurred. In addition, you can
specify that Storage Manager maintain an event log on disk (see
Event Broadcaster
on page 3-37
). To display the contents of the event
log, click
Event Log
in any controller, drive, or array information
window. Only the events reported for the selected device or array
are displayed.
Soft Error
An operation on a hard drive that caused an error,
but was successful after a retry.
Recoverable
Hard Error
An error on a hard drive, controller, or peripheral
bus, where the data was recovered using ECC or
from redundant array information.
Nonrecoverable
Hard Error
An error on a hard drive, controller, or peripheral
bus where the data could not be recovered using
ECC or from redundant array information.
Status Change
The status of an array or drive changed. Examples of
this would be a drive or array failure, or an array
build or rebuild operation that was initiated or
completed.
