This topic lists the MegaRAID Storage Manager events that can appear in the event log.
The MegaRAID Storage Manager software monitors the activity and the performance of all controllers in the server and the devices attached to them. When an event occurs, such as the removal of a drive or the creation of a new drive group, an event message appears in the log at the bottom of the MegaRAID Storage Manager screen. The messages are also logged in the Windows Application log (Event Viewer).
Each message that appears in the event log has a Severity Level that indicates the category of the event, as shown in the following table.
 
The following table lists all of the MegaRAID Storage Manager event messages. The event message descriptions include placeholders for specific values that are determined when the event is generated. For example, in message No. 1 in the Event Messages table, “%s” is replaced by the firmware version, which is read from the firmware when the event is generated.
