Monitoring and Managing the Event Log
3PAR InForm CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.3.1
11.5 Monitoring and Managing the Event Log
The eventlog has information about all notable occurrences on the InServ. System events
include all alerts the system has generated and alerts marked as acknowledged or fixed. These
system events are generated and logged in the system events log. For detailed information
about the events log, see the InForm OS Concepts Guide.
11.5.1 Viewing the Event Log
 To view the events log, simply issue the showeventlog command.
The eventlog display can be refined to include only events occurring before or after a
specified time, within a specified time period, and that match a specified pattern. For
complete information on the events log’s display options, see the InForm OS Command Line
Interface Reference.
11.5.2 Removing the Event Log
 To remove all event logs with severity Debug from the system, issue the removeeventlog
command.
The removeeventlog command removes all event logs with severity
Debug from the system
11.6 Stopped Logical Disks and Missing Physical Disks
If physical disks in the system are unavailable when the system is powered on, the physical disk
is in the Missing state. The system manager will not immediately start logical disks that have
chunklets on these missing disks. The result is some logical disks remain in the Stopped state.
Use the
showpd and showld commands to display the state of physical and logical disks.
If the logical disk is data-complete, but a few of the physical disks are missing, the logical disks
will be automatically started after waiting five minutes. If more than four physical disks are
missing, the logical disks will not be started automatically. You can start a data-complete
logical disk using the InForm CLI
startld command, and the system manager will begin
reconstructing the missing mirrored data. The system automatically relocates the chunklets
from the missing physical disks to free space or spare space.
For a complete list of options available for the
showpd and showld commands, see the InForm
OS Command Line Interface Reference and InForm CLI Help.
