10 Monitoring Status and Activity

This section describes how maxView Storage Manager helps you monitor status and activity in your

storage space.

Monitoring Options

maxView Storage Manager provides many ways to monitor the status of your storage space:

• Event Log—The main window of maxView Storage Manager features an event log that provides

at-a-glance status information about activity (or events) occurring in your storage space. All Warning-

and Error-level events are also recorded in your operating system's event log.

See Viewing Activity Status in the Event Log on page 89 and Changing an Operating System's Event

Log Setting on page 102.

• Task Log—The main window also features a task log that provides status information about the

progress of current or recurring tasks in your storage space, such as the creation or verication of

a logical drive.

See Viewing Task Status in the Task Log on page 90.

• Storage Dashboard—Occupying the largest portion of the main window in maxView Storage Manager,

the Storage Dashboard provides complete, at-a-glance, information about the components of your

storage space, including status information, physical and logical device properties, resources, and

reliability indicators for hard drives and SSDs.

See Viewing Component Status in the Storage Dashboard on page 90.

• Chart View—Provides a visual representation of free and used space for a system, controller, or

your entire storage space.

See Viewing Storage Space Usage in Chart View on page 93.

• Notications—You can set maxView Storage Manager to email or broadcast status notications in

your choice of format to help you monitor activities in your storage space, such as:

∘ Changes in the status of physical devices, such as disk drive failures.

∘ Changes on local or remote systems, such as the expansion of a logical drive or the creation of

a hot spare.

∘ Changes in temperature in storage enclosures, or that fans or power supplies within an enclosure

have failed.

See pages Notifying Users by Email About Status and Activity on page 93 and Broadcasting Alerts

About Status and Activity on page 99.

• Advanced Statistics—You can set maxView Storage Manager to log advanced I/O and usage statistics

for the RAID controllers in your system.

See Monitoring Advanced Statistics about Activity in Your Storage Space on page 99.

• Audible Alarm—A series of beeps sounds whenever a serious event occurs on your storage space.

See Working with System Alarms on page 83.

Checking Status from the Main Window

You can view status information and messages about the activity occurring in your storage space by

looking at the event log, status icons, and task log in the main window of maxView Storage Manager.

(You can also view all events for a system in its operating system event log; see Changing an Operating

System's Event Log Setting on page 102.) Using the Storage Dashboard and Chart View, you can also

monitor the physical and logical components of your storage space from the main window, including

summary information and status, physical and logical device properties and resources, and usage and

I/O statistics.
