RLM messages

The RLM provides remote management capabilities for some storage systems and continuously monitors system health. Two types of messages are associated with the RLM and can help you monitor your system and troubleshoot problems.

The following systems contain RLMs:

N5000 series systems
N6000 series systems
N7000 series systems

The RLM sends AutoSupport messages when certain problems occur with the system. These might include a reboot failure or a user-triggered power cycle.

Data ONTAP generates EMS messages when RLM events and errors occur. These might include a firmware update failure or a communication error.

Note: For more information about what the RLM does, see the System Administration Guide for the version of Data ONTAP that your system is running.
