Introduction

Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator produces event messages stored primarily in the operating describes the event messages created by Server Administrator version 5.3 or later and displayed in the Server Administrator Alert log.

Server Administrator creates events in response to sensor status changes and other monitored parameters. The Server Administrator event monitor uses these status change events to add descriptive messages to the operating system event log or the Server Administrator Alert log.

Each event message that Server Administrator adds to the Alert log consists of a unique identifier called the event ID for a specific event source category and a descriptive message. The event message includes the severity, cause of the event, and other relevant information, such as the event location and the monitored item’s previous state.

Tables provided in this guide list all Server Administrator event IDs in numeric order. Each entry includes the event ID’s corresponding description, severity level, and cause. Message text in angle brackets (for example, Server

Understanding Event Messages

This section describes the various types of event messages generated by the Server Administrator. When

an event occurs on your system, the Server Administrator sends information about one of the

following event types to the systems management console:

A significant event that indicates actual or imminent loss of data or loss of function.

For example,

For example, a Warning/Non-critical alert may indicate that a

Server Administrator generates events based on status changes in the following sensors:

•

Temperature Sensor

— Helps protect critical components by alerting the systems management console when temperatures become too high inside a chassis; also monitors a variety of locations in the chassis and in any attached systems.

•

Fan Sensor

•

Voltage Sensor

— Monitors fans in various locations in the chassis and in any attached systems.

— Monitors voltages across critical components in various chassis locations and in any

attached systems.

•

Current Sensor

— Monitors the current (or amperage) output from the power supply (or supplies) in

the chassis and in any attached systems.

•

Chassis Intrusion Sensor

•

Redundancy Unit Sensor

— Monitors intrusion into the chassis and any attached systems.

— Monitors redundant units (critical units such as fans, AC power cords, or power supplies) within the chassis; also monitors the chassis and any attached systems. For example, redundancy allows a second or

th fan to keep the chassis components at a safe temperature when another fan has failed. Redundancy is normal when the intended number of critical components are operating. Redundancy is degraded when a component fails, but others are still operating. Redundancy is lost when there is one less critical redundancy device than required.

•

Power Supply Sensor

Memory Prefailure Sensor

•

— Monitors power supplies in the chassis and in any attached systems.

— Monitors memory modules by counting the number of Error Correction

Code (ECC) memory corrections.

The alert is provided for

an array disk.

The location of the event log file depends on the operating system you are using.

• In the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Advanced Server and Windows Server™ 2003 operating systems, messages are logged to the system event log and optionally to a unicode text file, using Notepad), that is located in the

the messages file using a text editor such as vi or emacs.

NOTE: Logging messages to a unicode text file is optional. By default, the feature is disabled. To enable this

feature, modify the Event Manager section of the dcemdy32.ini file as follows:

• In Windows, locate the file at <install_path>\dataeng\ini and set

The default install_path is C:\Program Files\Dell\SysMgt. Restart the DSM SA Event Manager service.

• In Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, locate the file at <install_path>/dataeng/ini and

set "/etc/init.d/dataeng restart" command to restart the Server Administrator event manager service. This will also restart the Server Administrator data manager and SNMP services.

Redundancy Unit Messages

Redundancy means that a system chassis has more than one of certain critical components. Fans and power supplies, for example, are so important for preventing damage or disruption of a computer system that a chassis may have “extra” fans or power supplies installed. Redundancy allows a second or nth fan to keep the chassis components at a safe temperature when the primary fan has failed. Redundancy is normal when the intended number of critical components are operating. Redundancy is degraded when a component fails but others are still operating. Redundancy is lost when the number of components functioning falls below the redundancy threshold.

26 Event Message Reference

Ta b l e 2-7 lists the redundancy unit messages.

The number of devices required for full redundancy is provided as part of the message, when applicable, for the redundancy unit and the platform. For details on redundancy computation, see the respective platform documentation.
