Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1
From the System panel, you can view details about control and
expansion enclosures and various hardware components of the
system. The system uses base-2 (binary numeral) as capacity
indicators for volumes, drives, and other system objects. The
management GUI and the command-line interface (CLI) use different
abbreviations to indicate capacity, but the value for these capacity
indicators is the same. See 3.3.1, "System overview" on page 88.
The Events panel displays two types of events: messages and alerts.
It also indicates the cause of any log entry. You can use this panel to
filter messages that are related to events that occurred on the system.
Some alerts have a four-digit error code and a fix procedure that helps
you fix the problem.
Other alerts also require action but do not have a fix procedure.
Messages are fixed when you acknowledge reading them and mark
them as fixed. Each event has a time stamp that indicates when the
action occurred or the command was submitted on the system.
