lists errors that have occurred in cluster operations. Double click an alert
to view the error in the cluster tree structure.

Check the Server Configuration
The HP Clustered File System mxcheck utility can be used to verify that a
server meets the configuration requirements for HP Clustered File
System. The utility is run automatically whenever HP Clustered File
System is booted. You can also run mxcheck manually. It is located in the
installation directory, which is typically C:\Program Files\Hewlett-
Packard\HP Clustered File System\bin.
The utility performs the following checks on the server:
• System check: hardware, operating system version, service pack
version, available physical memory.
