Event

GAM monitors the behaviors of all hard disks and controllers connected to the server. If a behavior
that should be treated as an event (a serious event such as hard disk failure) is found, that event is
noticed to GAM.
Events such as errors, information, or management tasks in the RAID system are displayed in [Log
Information Viewer].
To write the incidence of an event or error into event logs of the operating system, it is
necessary to install ServerView. Refer to "User's Guide" in the PRIMERGY Documents &
Tools CD provided with the server to install and configure ServerView.
GAM Server records detailed information of events that occurred into the
"GAMEVLOG.LOG" file. This file may be used when investigation is required.
While GAM Client is running, if the IP address of the server to be monitored is changed or
the LAN connection is disconnected, the "Lost connection to server, or server is down"
message will be recorded every 10 minutes.
If the IP address or computer name of Client is changed after GAM Server was installed,
events cannot be noticed correctly. In this case, it is necessary to uninstall GAM Server first
and then install it again. (If the IP address is automatically obtained from the DHCP server,
the IP address may be changed depending on the timing of powering on/off or restarting the
system.)
