Chapter 13. RAS, monitoring, and troubleshooting 703
Use the management GUI to manage and service your system. Select Monitoring → Events 
to list events that should be addressed and maintenance procedures that walk you through 
the process of correcting problems. Information in the Events window can be filtered in three 
ways:
/SM590000Recommended Actions
Shows only the alerts that require attention. Alerts are listed in priority order and should be 
resolved sequentially by using the available fix procedures. For each problem that is 
selected, you can perform the following tasks:
– Run a fix procedure
– View the properties
/SM590000Unfixed Messages and Alerts
Displays only the alerts and messages that are not fixed. For each entry that is selected, 
you can perform the following tasks:
– Run a fix procedure
– Mark an event as fixed
– Filter the entries to show them by specific minutes, hours, or dates
– Reset the date filter
– View the properties
/SM590000Show All
Displays all event types whether they are fixed or unfixed. For each entry that is selected, 
you can perform the following tasks:
– Run a fix procedure
– Mark an event as fixed
– Filter the entries to show them by specific minutes, hours, or dates
– Reset the date filter
– View the properties
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.
13.6.1  Managing event log
Regularly check the status of the system using the management GUI. If you suspect a 
problem, first use the management GUI 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 by completing the 
following steps: 
1. Click Monitoring → Events to see all problems that exist on the system (see Figure 13-34 
on page 704).
Important: The management GUI is the primary tool that is used to operate and service 
your system. Real-time monitoring should be established by using SNMP traps, email 
notifications, or syslog messaging on an automatic manner.
