1 1 Managing Events and Alerts

Overview

The system tracks system events internally. Some of these events require action on the part of the
system administrator, so they trigger alerts that are displayed for the administrator. Events are logs
created by the system which allow you to view the day-to-day health of your system. Alerts are
generated by the system when a system event requires immediate operator action or attention.

Checking the Status of a System

The checkhealth command checks the status of a system hardware and software components,
and reports any issues. You can specify which components you want the checkhealth command
to examine, or check all system components.
Use the checkhealth command to view a status summary of all system components.
Use the checkhealth -list command to view a list of all system components.
To check the health of specific hardware and software components, issue the checkhealth
<component> command, where <component> is the component, or list of components, you
want to check.
For more information about troubleshooting your system with the checkhealth command, see
the HP 3PAR F-Class, T-Class, and StoreServ 10000 Storage Troubleshooting Guide, HP 3PAR
StoreServ 7000 Storage Troubleshooting Guide, and HP 3PAR Messages and Operator's Guide.

Monitoring and Managing Alerts

Alerts are system events that require your immediate attention. An alert may be triggered by a
single event, a combination of events, or by repeated occurrences of the same event. The system
administrator is responsible for responding to alerts. For information about system alerts, go to

Viewing Alerts

To display system alerts, issue the showalert command.
You can additionally display alerts by type (fixed alerts, acknowledged alerts, and so on). For
information about alert display options, see the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface Reference.

Setting an Alert State

To mark an alert as new, fixed, or acknowledged, issue the setalert new|fixed|ack
<alert_ID> command, where <alert_ID> is the alert whose status you wish to acknowledge.

Removing an Alert

To remove an alert, issue the removealert <alert_ID> command, where <alert_ID> is
the alert you wish to remove.

Setting System Alerts

While most system alerts are generated automatically without any need for user configuration,
there are several types of alerts that you can specifically configure:
Limits relating to CPGs can be set by the user when creating a CPG and can later trigger
alerts. For information on setting the growth increment limits, see
