Software RAID alert monitoring
The software RAID feature on iSM enables alert monitoring in PERC S130 and later series of software RAID controllers, starting from iSM version 4.3.0.0. iSM supports the software RAID alert monitoring on Microsoft Windows operating system with software RAID configurations and logs the software RAID alerts in the Lifecycle log and operating system log.
iSM monitors the alerts when OMSA is running on the operating system. However, the alerts are logged only in the Lifecycle log, and not in the operating system log. When OMSA is not running on the operating system, iSM logs the alerts in the operating system log and the Lifecycle log. The source name for alerts logged in the operating system log is iDRACServiceModule-SWRAID. iSM monitors the alerts every 30 minutes and a maximum of 50 alerts are logged per day.
The following table provides the list of software RAID alerts monitored in iSM.
