Storage events
With Systems Insight Manager, administrators can monitor inventory and configure and manage
hardware resources and the system software that affects the systems.
Systems Insight Manager provides the administrator with a complete overview of the hardware
status. Storage events provide notification that a problem exists that might affect the availability
of storage resources, which can affect system and application availability. Systems Insight Manager
receives detailed event messages through WBEM events or SNMP traps. These events identify the
system and the affected disk and provide an error number for looking up details and a description
of the problem. The event details also contain links to the Command View server that generated
the event. Systems Insight Manager associates a disk or RAID subsystem with the controller managing
these drives for internal storage.
