Analyzing the error log

You can analyze the error log from the Analyze Error Log panel.

This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.

Note: Log files that are copied to the configuration node are not automatically deleted by the SAN Volume Controller.

Perform the following steps to analyze the error log:

  1. Click Service and Maintenance > Analyze Error Log in the portfolio. The Analyze Error Log panel is displayed.

    The Analyze Error Log panel lets you analyze the cluster error log. You can display the whole log or filter the log so that only errors, events, or unfixed errors are displayed. In addition, you can request that the table is sorted by either error priority or time. For error priority, the most serious errors are the lowest-numbered errors. Therefore, they are displayed first in the table.

    Either the oldest or the latest entry can be displayed first in the table. You can also select how many error log entries are displayed on each page of the table. The default is set to 10 and the maximum number of error logs that can be displayed on each page is 99.

  2. After selecting the options, click Process to display the filtered error log in the table. The Analyze Error Log Continued panel is displayed.

    Forward and backward scroll buttons are displayed, depending on the existing page number and the total number of pages that are in the table. If the table contains more than two pages of entries, a Go to input area is displayed in the table footer. This input area enables you to skip to a particular page number.

    If you click on the sequence number of a table record, more information about that error log entry is displayed. If the record is an error (instead of an event), you can change the fixed or unfixed status of the record; that is, you can mark an unfixed error as fixed or a fixed error as unfixed.

  3. Click Clear log to erase the entire cluster error log.
    Note: Clicking Clear log does not fix the existing errors.
