Monitoring failure information in Windows Event Log

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

Before you begin

• 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: C:\Mapp\wk\model-identification-number\DKC200\mp\pc\eventlog.bat start-output_stop monitoring-period

• A space is required between eventlog.bat and start-output_stop.

• A space is required between start-output_stop and monitoring-period.

• C:\Mapp shows the installation directory of the SVP. If you specify a directory other than C:\Mapp, replace with your specified directory.

The following is an explanation of specifying values:

Model-identification-number:

83+model name+serial number of the storage system

83xxxxyyyyy

xxxx: Model name (VSP G200: 2000, VSP G400 and VSP F400: 4000, VSP G600 and VSP F600: 6000, VSP G800 and VSP F800: 8000)

yyyyy: Serial number of the storage system

For example: If the model name is VSP G600, and the serial number of the storage system is 400102, the value is 836000400102.

start-output_stop:

0: Stop output of the failure information

1: Start output of the failure information

monitoring-period

Enter the monitoring period of the storage system. Range is 5 to 720 (min). Specify only when start-output_stop is 1.

The command prompt is displayed when the command is finished without any errors.

3. Finish the command prompt.
