8 Alerts
Alerts are triggered by events that require intervention by the system administrator. This chapter
provides a list of alerts identified by message code, the message(s), and what action should be
taken for each alert. To learn more about alerts, see the HP 3PAR OS Concepts Guide.
For information about system alerts, go to http://www.hp.com/support/hpgt/3par and select
your server platform.
To view the alerts, use the showalert command. Alert message codes have seven digits in the
following schema:
• AAABBBB
• AAA is a 3-digit "major code"
• BBBB is a 4-digit sub-code
• 0x precedes the code to indicate hexadecimal notation.
NOTE: Message codes ending in de indicate a degraded state alert. Message codes ending in
fa indicate a failed state alert.
Refer to the HP 3PAR OS Command Line Interface Reference for complete information on the
display options on the event logs.
