Getting started with group monitoring
All monitoring information is available by clicking Monitoring in the lower-left panel.
Monitoring events
The group generates a message when a significant event that requires corrective action occurs in the group (for
example, when hardware fails, or replication space is insufficient). The group also generates event messages when
certain normal operations occur (for example, when a user logs in to the group, or you create a volume).
Event messages help you monitor group operations and correct problems b
efore they disrupt operations. See About
event messages on page 14
-1.
To display events, click
Monitoring and then Events.
Table 15-2 shows the filtering options available in the
