Event Monitoring

Event notification can be set to four different levels:
Informational
Warning
Error
Critical
INFORMATIONAL— used to inform all system events. This level will result in increased messages
as all categories of messages will be reported. This level requires regular attention and review
to ensure that WARNING (or ERROR or CRITICAL) events are not lost in the resulting expanded
event report.
WARNING—recommended as it signals a problem exists that results in the loss of redundancy.
If another similar failure occurs, a system outage (and resulting loss of access to data) occurs.
HPE recommends that you investigate and resolve the event promptly.
ERROR—used to inform failure occurred that might affect data Integrity or system stability.
Correct the problem as soon as possible.
CRITICAL—used to inform failure occurred that might cause a controller to shutdown. Correct
the problem immediately.

Events sent as Indications to SMI-S Clients

If the storage systems SMI-S interface is enabled, the system will send events as indications to
SMI-S clients. The SMI-S clients can then monitor the system performance. For information on
enabling the SMI-S interface, see Configuring the system in the MSA 1040/2040 SMU Reference
Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center website.
For information on the event categories pertaining to Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) assemblies
and certain FRU components, see Events sent as indications to SMI-S clients in the MSA Event
Descriptions Reference Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center website.
