604 Storage Management Alert Reference
Alert Descriptions and Corrective Actions
The following sections describe alerts generated by the Redundant Array of Independent disks (RAID) or
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) controllers supported by Storage Management. The alerts are
displayed in the Server Administrator Alert subtab or through Windows Event Viewer. These alerts can
also be forwarded as SNMP traps to other applications.
SNMP traps are generated for the alerts listed in the following sections. These traps are included in the
Storage Management MIB. The SNMP traps for these alerts use all of the SNMP trap variables. For more
information on SNMP support and the MIB, see "SNMP Support for Storage Management Alerts."
To locate an alert, scroll through the following table to find the alert number displayed on the Server
Administrator Alert tab or search this HTML file for the alert message text or number. See "Alert
Severity Levels" for more information on severity levels.
For more information regarding alert descriptions and the appropriate corrective actions, see the online help.

been identified by the controller while performing a task

which component has failed by locating the component
that has a red “X” for its status. Perform a rescan after
replacing the failed component.

2049 Array disk
removed
Warning /
Non-critical
Cause: A physical disk has been removed from the
array. A user may have also executed the "Prepare to
Remove" task. This alert can also be caused by loose or
defective cables or by problems with the enclosure.
Action:
If a physical disk was removed from the array,
either replace the disk or restore the original disk. You can
identify which disk has been removed by locating the disk
that has a red “X” for its status. Perform a rescan after
replacing or restoring the disk. If a disk has not been
removed from the array, then check for problems with the
cables. See the
online help for more information on
checking the cables. Make sure that the enclosure is
powered on. If the problem persists, check the enclosure
documentation for further diagnostic information.
