Show Events - HP P2000 Reference Manual

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. Timestamps use
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
For event descriptions and recommended actions, see the event descriptions reference guide.
