MegaRAID Storage Manager monitors the activity and performance of all of the controllers in the server and the devices attached to them. When an “event” occurs—such as a drive failure or a new hot spare—an event message appears in the log displayed at the bottom of the MegaRAID Storage Manager screen. These event messages also appear in the Windows Application log (the Event Viewer).
Each message that appears in the event log has a severity level that indicates the importance of the event, as shown in Table 1, a date and timestamp, and a brief description. You can click an event to display the same information in a window. Each event in the log includes a severity level and a brief description. (For a list of all events, see
Events and Messages.) The status bar at the bottom of the screen indicates whether the log is a server log or a locally stored log file.
