This section describes the following tasks:
• Starting and stopping event
• Displaying the event
• Managing the event log

• Logging to a remote

Event messages originate from the switch or from the management application in response to events that
occur in the fabric. For a complete listing of switch event messages, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre
Channel Switch event message guide.
Events are classified by the following severity levels:
• Alarm—The alarm level describes events that are disruptive to the administration or operation of a
fabric and require administrator intervention. Alarms are always logged and always displayed on the
screen. Alarm thresholds can be defined for certain port errors to customize when to generate an
alarm.
• Critical—The critical level describes events that are generally disruptive to the administration or
operation of the fabric, but require no action.
• Warning—The warning level describes events that are generally not disruptive to the administration or
operation of the fabric, but are more important than the informative level events.
• Informative—The informative level describes routine events associated with a normal fabric.
