Some events require a certain number of occurrences in 25 hours before they are
displayed as unfixed. If they do not reach this threshold in 25 hours, they are
flagged as expired. Monitoring events are below the coalesce threshold and are
usually transient.
You can also sort events by time or error code. When you sort by error code, the
most serious events, those with the lowest numbers, are displayed first. You can
select any event that is listed and select Actions > Properties to view details about
the event.

The management GUI is the primary tool that is used to service your system.
Regularly monitor the status of the system using the management GUI. If you
suspect a problem, use the management GUI first to diagnose and resolve the
problem.
Use the views that are available in the management GUI to verify the status of the
system, the hardware devices, the physical storage, and the available volumes. The
Monitoring > Events panel provides access to all problems that exist on the
system. Use the Recommended Actions filter to display the most important events
that need to be resolved.
If there is a service error code for the alert, you can run a fix procedure that assists
you in resolving the problem. These fix procedures analyze the system and provide
more information about the problem. They suggest actions to take and step you
through the actions that automatically manage the system where necessary. Finally,
they check that the problem is resolved.
If there is an error that is reported, always use the fix procedures within the
management GUI to resolve the problem. Always use the fix procedures for both
software configuration problems and hardware failures. The fix procedures analyze
the system to ensure that the required changes do not cause volumes to be
inaccessible to the hosts. The fix procedures automatically perform configuration
changes that are required to return the system to its optimum state.
