Events

The recorded events are stored in the local database on each node. The user can get a list of recorded events by using the mmhealth node eventlog command. Users can use the mmhealth node show or mmhealth cluster show commands to display the active events in the node and cluster respectively.

For more details, see mmces command and mmhealth command. The recorded events can also be displayed through the GUI.

When you upgrade to IBM Storage Scale 5.0.5.3 or a later version, the nodes where no sqlite3 package is installed have their RAS event logs converted to a new database format to prevent known issues. The old RAS event log is emptied automatically. You can verify that the event log is emptied either by using the mmhealth node eventlog command or in the IBM Storage Scale GUI.

Note: The event logs are updated only the first time IBM Storage Scale is upgraded to version 5.0.5.3 or higher.

The following sections list the RAS events that are applicable to various components of the IBM Storage Scale system:
