Save Storage Array Events

Description

This command saves events from the Major Event Log (MEL) to a file.

Any or all of the following events can be saved:

  • Critical events—Errors occurring on the storage array that needs to be addressed immediately. Loss of data access may occur if the error is not immediately corrected.
  • Warning events—Errors occurring on the storage array resulting in degraded performance or reduced ability to recover from additional errors. Access to data has not been lost, but the must be corrected to prevent possible loss of data access in the event of an additional error.
  • Informational events—Events occurring on the storage array that do not impact normal operations. This event is reporting a change in configuration or other information useful in evaluating the performance of the storage array.
  • Debug events—Events occurring on the storage array that provides information useful in determining steps or states that led to the error. This information may be useful to your Technical Support representative in helping determine error causes.
  • NOTE: Some storage arrays may be unable to support all the above mentioned types of events.
