This guide lists events by event code and severity, where the most severe form of an event is described first. Events are listed in the following format. Events that do not apply to P2000 G3 MSA System products are not listed.
Event descriptions Warning Either: • The indicated non-RAID-6 vdisk is operating with degraded health due to the failure of one disk. • The indicated RAID-6 vdisk is operating with degraded health due to the failure of two disks. The vdisk is online but cannot tolerate another disk failure. If a dedicated spare or global spare of the proper size and type is present, that spare is used to automatically reconstruct the vdisk.
