Alarms Page

The Alarms page appears when you click Monitor > Alarms on the menu bar.

This page displays a list of AENs (asynchronous event notifications) received from the controller displayed in the drop-down list in the menu bar.

Up to 1000 alarms can be listed. After the 1000-limit is reached, the oldest alarms are deleted, as new ones occur.

You can sort the alarms by severity or time. To do so, just click the column header.

For 7000 and 8000-series controllers, alarms can be used by either 3DM or CLI, but not both. Whichever issues an alarms command first determines which can see alarm data.

For more information about any of the alarms that appear on the Alarms page, see the Troubleshooting section of the 3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide.

Clear Alarms. The Clear Alarms button removes all alarms shown in the list.

Sev. Shows the severity of the event. Three levels are provided:

Errors are shown next to a red box
Warnings are shown next to a yellow box
Information is shown next to a blue box

Time. The time shown for alarms generated by 7000- and 8000- series controllers is the time retrieved from the driver by 3DM. The time shown for alarms generated by 9000-series controllers is the time received by the driver from firmware.

Message. The specific text relating to the alarm condition.
