Introduction This guide is for reference by storage administrators to help troubleshoot issues in StorageWorks storage systems. It describes event messages that may be reported during system operation and specifies any actions recommended in response to an event. When an event occurs in a storage system, an event message is recorded in the system's event log and-depending on the system's event notification settings-may also be sent to users (via email) and host-based applications (via SNMP or SMI-S). Each event has a numeric code that identifies the type of event that occurred, and has one of the following severities: • Critical. A failure occurred that may cause a controller to shut down. Correct the problem immediately. • Error. A failure occurred that may affect data integrity or system stability. Correct the problem as soon as possible. • Warning. A problem occurred that may affect system stability but not data integrity. Evaluate the problem and correct it if necessary. • Informational. A configuration or state change occurred, or a problem occurred that the system corrected. No action is required. An event message may specify an associated error code or reason code, which provides additional detail for technical support. Error codes and reason codes are outside the scope of this guide. This guide lists events by event code and severity, where the most severe form of an event is described first. Events are listed in the following format. Events that do not apply to P2000 G3 MSA System products are not listed. Event code Event severity Event description. Recommended actions • If the event indicates a problem, actions to take to resolve the problem.

HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 MSA System Event Descriptions Reference Guide

Introduction
This guide is for reference by storage administrators to help troubleshoot issues in StorageWorks storage
systems. It describes event messages that may be reported during system operation and specifies any
actions recommended in response to an event.
When an event occurs in a storage system, an event message is recorded in the system’s event log
and—depending on the system’s event notification settings—may also be sent to users (via email) and
host-based applications (via SNMP or SMI-S).
Each event has a numeric code that identifies the type of event that occurred, and has one of the following
severities:
Critical. A failure occurred that may cause a controller to shut down. Correct the problem
immediately
.
Error. A failure occurred that may affect data integrity or system stability. Correct the problem as soon
as possible.
Warning. A problem occurred that may affect system stability but not data integrity. Evaluate the
problem and correct it if necessary.
Informational. A configuration or state change occurred, or a problem occurred that the system
corrected. No action is required.
An event message may specify an associated error code or reason code, which provides additional detail
for technical support. Error codes and reason codes are outside the scope of this guide.
This guide lists events by event code and severity, where the most severe form of an event is described first.
Events are listed in the following format. Events that do not apply to P2000 G3 MSA System products are
not listed.
