The MegaRAID Storage Manager software enables you to monitor the

•
Section 8.1, “Monitoring System Events”
•
Section 8.2, “Monitoring Controllers”

8.1 Monitoring System Events
MegaRAID Storage Manager software monitors the activity and
performance of all controllers in the system and the storage devices
connected to them. When an event occurs (such as the creation of a new
virtual disk or the removal of a physical drive) an event message appears
in the log displayed at the bottom of the MegaRAID Storage Manager
window.
Each event in the log includes an error level (Information, Warning,
Caution, Fatal, or Dead) a date and timestamp, and a brief description.
(For a list of all events, see
Appendix A, “Events and Messages.” )
The Log menu has three options:
•
Save Log: Saves the current log to a file.
•
Clear Log: Clears the current log information.
•
Load Log: Enables you to load a different log file.
