System Logs - NETGEAR ReadyDATA 5200 Software Manual

Most fields are self-explanatory. The following fields, however, require some explanation:
• Volume State. NEW, ACTIVE, EXPORTED, or DESTROYED.
• Disk State. AVAIL (available), ONLINE, OFFLINE, UNKNOWN, or FAULTED.
• Channel. The slot in which the disk is installed. (On the ReadyDATA 5200, slots are
numbered in sequential and ascending order from the bottom to the top of the
enclosure, starting with 1 at the bottom left and ending with 12 at the top right.)

System Logs

You can view system log messages onscreen, download the complete system logs to a local
computer or USB drive, and receive system alerts. System logs provide information about the
status of various system management tasks, including a time stamp. These logs are used
primarily to troubleshoot problems. If you call NETGEAR technical support, the
representative might ask you to send your system logs.
Depending on the settings, the system logs record events such as the following:
• System events such as the creation or deletion of a share, LUN, or snapshot, or quota
violations, or low disk space
• Addition and removal of hot-swappable disks
• Detection of disk types and hardware statistics
• Removal and addition of SAS-attached expansion enclosures
• Removal and addition of SSDs
• Removal and addition of power supplies
