This section provides event IDs, log listings, descriptions, and where applicable, Service action recommendations.
Refer to the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager User Guide for your version of CAM for information on viewing system events and configuring automatic notifications.
In the event list below, note the following designations:
Down: Identifies a device or component as not functioning and in need of immediate service.
Critical: Identifies a device or component in which a significant error condition is detected that requires immediate service.
Major: Identifies a device or component in which a major error condition is detected and service may be required.
Minor: Identifies a device or component in which a minor error condition is detected or an event of significance is detected.
Note - Auto Service Request (ASR) monitors the array system health and performance and automatically notifies the Sun Technical Support Center when critical events occur. Critical alarms generate an Auto Service Request case. The notifications enable SunService to respond faster and more accurately to critical on-site issues.
