C Controller fault management

This appendix describes how the controller displays events and termination event information.
Termination event information is displayed on the LCD. HP Command View EVA enables you to
view controller events. This appendix also discusses how to identify and correct problems.
Once you create a storage system, an error condition message has priority over other controller
displays.
HP Command View EVA provides detailed descriptions of the storage system error conditions, or
faults. The Fault Management displays provide similar information on the LCD, but not in as much
detail. Whenever possible, see HP Command View EVA for fault information.

Using HP Command View EVA

HP Command View EVA provides detailed information about each event affecting system operation
in either a Termination Event display or an Event display. These displays are similar, but not
identical.

GUI termination event display

A problem that generates the Termination Event display prevents the system from performing a
specific function or process. You can use the information in this display (see
to diagnose and correct the problem.
NOTE: The major differences between the Termination Event display and the Event display are:
• The Termination Event display includes a Code Flag field; it does not include the EIP Type field.
• The Event display includes an EIP type field; it does not include a Code Flag field.
• The Event display includes a Corrective Action Code field.
