contains SmartSSD Wear Gauge information.
•
SmartSSD Wear Gauge report
This report contains information about the current usage level and remaining expected lifetime of solid
state drives attached to the system.

Serial output logs
This log details the serial output for the selected controller.
For each controller, or for all of them, you can select the following tasks:
•

•

•

•
View SmartSSD Wear Gauge Report
•
Generate SmartSSD Wear Gauge Report
For the view tasks, ACU generates and displays the report or log. For the generate tasks, ACU generates a
report without the graphical display.
For either task, you can save the report. In the SmartStart environment (G7 or earlier servers), you can save
the report to a formatted diskette or USB device. In online and offline environments, ACU saves the diagnostic
report to a compressed folder, which contains an XML report, a plain text report, and a viewer file so you can
display and navigate the report through a web browser.
Each ACU Diagnostics report contains a consolidated view of any error or warning conditions encountered.
It also provides detailed information for every storage device, including the following:
•
Device status
•
Configuration flags
•
Firmware version numbers
•
Physical drive error logs
ACU Diagnostics never collects information about the data content of logical drives. The diagnostic report
does not collect or include the following:
•
File system types, contents, or status
•
Partition types, sizes, or layout
•
Software RAID information
•
Operating system device names or mount points
