Events and Messages

This topic lists the MegaRAID Storage Manager events that may appear in the event log.

MegaRAID Storage Manager software monitors the activity and performance of all controllers in the server and the devices attached to them. When an event occurs, such as the removal of a physical drive or the creation of a new array, an event message appears in the log displayed at the bottom of the MegaRAID Storage Manager screen. The messages are also logged in the Windows Application log (Event Viewer).

Each message that appears in the event log has a Severity Level that indicates the category of the event, as shown in this table.

Warning

Critical

The following table lists all of the MegaRAID Storage Manager event messages. Some of the messages do not apply to this Integrated RAID version of MegaRAID Storage Manager software.

Many of the event messages display system-specific information that is determined when the event occurs. For example, event message 1 displays the version of the installed MegaRAID firmware. In the message descriptions, this run-time information is indicated as <details>.
