Monitoring the system log using the Windows event log

You can manage the Windows error information by outputting failure information to the event log.

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>
     Note:

     • 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 <First 2 digits of firmware version><model-name><serial-number>, where <model-name> is one of the following:

     VSP E990: 6000

     VSP F350 and VSP G350: 2000

     VSP F370, VSP F700, VSP F900, VSP G370, VSP G700, VSP G900: 6000

     For example, for a VSP G700 that has the serial number 400102, the value is 886000400102.

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.
