Here's how to extract RAID controller logs using OpenManage Server Administrator. If you haven't already done so, download OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node from Dell.com/Support, and install it on your server OS.
Open the OMSA browser interface, then expand the "storage" section and select your controller. Select the "Information/Configuration" tab, then scroll to Controller Tasks. Select "Export Log", then click "Execute". Note the path the file wil be exported to, then click "Export Log". Open the location of the exported log, then sort by date to find it.
Alternatively, open a command prompt. Run the command "omreport storage controller | more". Note the controller ID of the card you want to work with, you'll need it in a moment. Now run "omconfig storgae controller action=exportlog controller=x", where "x" is the controller ID. The log is exported to "C:\Windows" or "C:\WinNT".
Thanks for watching.
