Monitoring failure information in the Windows event log

You can manage the Windows error information by outputting failure information to the event log.

Before you begin

  • The storage system status in the storage device list must be READY.

Procedure

  1. Open a Windows command prompt with administrator permissions in SVP.

  2. Execute the following command to move the current directory: 

    cd /d C:\Mapp\wk\model-identification-number\DKC200\mp\pc

    • The default installation directory is C:\Mapp:<installation-directory-of-SVP>
      Note
      • C:\Mapp indicates the installation directory of Device Manager - Storage Navigator. If you specified another directory, replace C:\Mapp: with the specified installation directory.
      • Without moving the current directory, failure information is not output to the Windows event log if you execute the batch file in step 3.

    • model-identification-number: Use the format 83<model-name><serial-number>, where <model-name> is one of the following:

      VSP G200: 2000

      VSP G400 or VSP F400, VSP G600 or VSP F600: 4000

      VSP G800 or VSP F800: 6000

      For example, for a VSP G600 that has the serial number 400102, the value is 834000400102.

  3. Execute the following batch file: 

    eventlog.bat action monitoring-period

    • action: Specify one of the following:

      0: Stop outputting failure information

      1: Start outputting failure information

      when this parameter is omitted, 0 is set.

    • monitoring-period: If you specified 1 for action, specify the monitoring period, from 5 to 720 minutes.

    • A space is required between eventlog.bat and action.
    • A space is required between action and monitoring-period.
    • The command prompt is displayed if the command finishes without any errors.

  4. Close the command prompt.
