Events and Messages

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

MegaRAID Storage Manager monitors the activity and performance of all controllers in the server and the devices attached to them. When an "event" occurs, such as the completion of a consistency check or the removal of a physical drive, 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 an Error Level that indicates the severity of the event, as shown in this table.
