Alerts Or Events

Storage activity generates alerts or events that are displayed in the Alert Log. Some alerts indicate normal

activity and are displayed for informational purposes only. Other alerts indicate abnormal activity which

must be addressed immediately. For more information about alerts and their corrective actions, see the

Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide.

Monitoring Disk Reliability On RAID Controllers

Storage Management supports Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) on physical

disks that are SMART-enabled.

SMART performs predictive failure analysis on each disk and sends alerts if a disk failure is predicted. The

RAID controllers check physical disks for failure predictions and, if found, pass this information to Storage

Management. Storage Management immediately displays an alert icon on the disk. Storage Management

also sends an alert to the Alert Log and the Microsoft Windows application log.

NOTE: You may not receive SMART alerts when the I/O of a controller is paused.

Using Alarms To Detect Failures

Certain storage components have alarms which when enabled, alert you when the component fails.
