Monitoring System Status
In This Chapter
You can monitor your system regularly to ensure that the
controller, disk drives, and arrays are working properly by:
■ Displaying the event log. See page 3-1.
■ Viewing hardware and configuration information. See page 3-4.
■ Displaying Overall Statistics. See page 3-7.
You can also view array and disk drive status information (see
page 2-11) and view disk drive status (see page 2-12).
Displaying the Event Log
The controller’s event log contains important information about
the status of the controller, disk drives, and arrays. You should
check it regularly to monitor the status of your system. For more
information about specific warning and error events, see Warning
and Error Events on page 7-8. For information about specific SCSI
disk drive and channel errors, see Understanding SCSI Errors on
page 7-11.
