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>

• 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.
