Overview
HP Clustered File System generates an event message when an error
condition or failure occurs or when the status of the cluster changes. To
provide an audit trail of cluster operations, a message is also generated when
a user requests and is granted or denied authorization to perform a task.
Event messages are logged and can be viewed either with the Cluster Event
Viewer provided with the HP Management Console or with command-line
tools. Certain events called Alerts are also displayed on the Management
Console. Alerts are tracked by HP Clustered File System and are
automatically cleared when the issue is resolved.
HP Clustered File System also provides event notifier services that can be
configured to take a specific action (generate an SNMP trap, send email, or
run a script) when certain events occur.
Event Logs
When an event message is generated on a server, HP Clustered File System
logs the message in the following locations:
• The Windows event log on the server where the event occurred.
• The cluster log. This log exists on each server and contains messages that
were logged on that server and on the other servers in the cluster.
When an event message is generated, it is written immediately to the
Windows event log on the server where the condition occurred.
