show events
Description Shows events logged by each controller in the storage system. A separate set of event numbers is
maintained for each controller. Each event number is prefixed with a letter identifying the controller
that logged the event.
Events are listed from newest to oldest, based on a timestamp with one-second granularity; therefore
the event log sequence matches the actual event sequence within about one second.
For more information, see “Resources for diagnosing and resolving problems” in the Event
Descriptions Reference Guide. To access HP’s Guided Troubleshooting website, see
