Monitoring Controllers and Its Attached
Devices
The MegaRAID Storage Manager software enables you to monitor the activity of all the controllers
present in the system and the devices attached to them.
When you perform an operation on devices (such as the creation of a new virtual drive) or when
devices automatically go from an optimal state to a different state (such as a created virtual drive
goes to a degraded state or a Battery Backup Unit goes bad), the MegaRAID Storage Manager
software gets those events from the controller and gives a notification to you, using different alert
delivery methods.
This section contains the following topics:
•

Alert Delivery Methods
Based on the severity level (Information, Warning, Critical and Fatal), the default alert delivery
methods change. By default, each severity level has one or more alert delivery methods
configured for it, as shown in
Alert Notifications. The different alert delivery methods are as follows:
•
Vivaldi Log/MegaRAID Storage Manager Log
•
System Log
•
Pop-up Notification
•
E-mail Notification
