Table 17. Windows Event Message mapped under LC logs monitored under S2D event
correlation (continued)
Windows event source—SourceID Windows event message Mapped on iDRAC LC log
StorageSpaces—drivers—307 The attempt to unmap or trim the
storage space %1 has failed. Return
code: %2
MessageID : SDS0012
NOTE: The Event and Error Message Reference Guide provides information about the event and error information that is
generated by firmware and other agents that monitor system components.
NOTE: PPID field is not recorded for alerts corresponding to a storage pool. iSM will replicate these alerts into the Lifecycle
Controller log files in iDRAC with PPID as "NA".
Storage Spaces Direct log files collection with SupportAssist Collection
SupportAssist Collection (SAC) request will collect and package Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) log files. This feature is available
only on Microsoft Windows operating system. The SDS Event Correlation feature must be enabled for SAC to include this log
collection report.
S.M.A.R.T log files for disks and chipset into SupportAssist Collection
report
iDRAC Service Module (iSM) collects the S.M.A.R.T log data from the SATA chipset driver when the SupportAssist Collection
(SAC) is requested in real time.
This feature requires the S.M.A.R.T monitoring feature to be enabled in iSM, and Storage Logs under SupportAssist
Collection preferences is enabled in iDRAC.
Historic S.M.A.R.T log
Historic S.M.A.R.T log files are collected from a SATA controller driver chipset or a Windows software RAID controller device
every 24 hours, if this feature is enabled. The historic S.M.A.R.T log files are collected in a scheduled interval in iSM and
sent to iDRAC. iDRAC bundles these historic S.M.A.R.T log files as part of the SupportAssist Collection you configure. Historic
S.M.A.R.T log files are enabled or disabled by using the iSM installer or dcismcfg CLI.
NOTE: This feature requires iDRAC9 firmware 4.40.00.00 and later.
In SupportAssist Collection, these log files are available at \tsr\storagelog\Smartlogs-nightly.zip.
The filenames of earlier S.M.A.R.T. log files provided by iDRAC Service Module consists of the host name as a prefix followed by
an alphanumeric value. For example, HostRD20200414.json.
iDRAC Service Module CLI tool—dcismcfg
The dcismcfg utility is used to enable or disable the Historic S.M.A.R.T log collection feature. This utility is supported on all
operating systems. Once the utility is used to enable or disable the Historic S.M.A.R.T log collection feature, the next polling
cycle of S.M.A.R.T Monitoring fulfills the request.
Run the following commands to enable or disable the Historic S.M.A.R.T log collection:
For Windows run either one of the following commands:
● <iSM install path>/shared/bin/dcismcfg.exe --collectperiodicsmartlog true/false
● <iSM install path>/shared/bin/dcismcfg.exe -c true/false
For Linux run either one of the following commands:
● <iSM install path>/bin/dcismcfg --collectperiodicsmartlog true/false
