Dr Series System Alert And Event Messages - Dell PowerVault Storage Area Network Administrator's Manual

DR Series System Alert and Event Messages

The DR Series system provides a variety of system alert and system event message types that describe the current state
of the system. You can review these messages, and see if there are any actions you can perform to resolve any reported
issue.
Dell recommends that you refer to the material in this and other related topics:
• Before any attempt is made to troubleshoot your DR Series system.
• Before contacting Dell Support for technical assistance.
You may be able to resolve any basic issues using the information presented in the DR Series system documentation.
Some alert and event messages are purely informational, and provide general system status. Other alert and event
messages display specific status or component information or suggest a specific task you can perform to resolve an
issue or to verify that a condition exists.
There are still other alert and event messages that direct you to contact Dell Support for assistance, where Dell Support
intervention may be required.
• Table 1 lists the DR Series System Alert Messages by system alert type: general system, system chassis,
NVRAM, and PERC-specific alert messages that could be displayed during the course of backup and
deduplication-related operations.
• Table 2 lists the DR Series System Event Messages by system event type (type 1 through 7): event messages that
could be displayed during the course of backup, replication, deduplication, diagnostics, cleaner, DataCheck,
maintenance, and OpenStorage Technology (OST) operations.
