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 P6000 Command View 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 P6000 Command View 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 P6000 Command View for fault information.
