SSA RAID Adapter, SSA, and RAID
The Event/Error Logger Utility
126
Service Guide
The adapter software includes an Event/Error Logger utility. This utility is
automatically loaded into the system during the installation of the adapter software,
and afterward, at each power-on operation. It collects information about SSA
errors, and tells you when an error occurs that need a service action.
The format in which the Event/Error Logger reports errors is controlled by the file
xxxxxx.yyy in zzzzzzz. Details of the settings and how to change them are
contained in the header of the control file.
The SSA Configurator and Service Aids Utility provides functions that allow you to
use the logged information. These functions are:
• Analyze SSA Event Log
• Dump SSA Event Log
• Terminate SSA Event Log
• Modify SSA Event Logger Time Out.
Analyze SSA Event Log
This function checks the log information that has been collected over the previous
twenty-four hours, and displays information about errors that require service actions
to be done.

Service Actions are indicated by service request numbers (SRNs): see "Service
Request Numbers (SRNs)" on page 77.
Note: The Analyze Log function does not recommend a service action for every
log entry. Not all log entries require a service action. In some conditions, some
errors might be related to operational procedures. Such errors do not require
service actions.
Attention: If you need to do any service actions, always go first to "SSA START"
on page 75.
