Startup & Navigation

Manual No. 771961 3-7

3. Item #3 is the server selection box. Workstation Array Manager does

not allow access to remote servers, so this box is read-only and

contains the entry LOCAL_SERVER. The server selection box is used

only in GAM Client.

4. Item #4 is the WSAM controller selection box. When selected, the box

displays the controller ID (C-0, C-1, etc.) and controller type (BT-952,

DAC1164P, etc.) of each SCSI HBA and PCI/SCSI or External RAID

Controller connected to the local server. For External RAID Controller

duplex pairs, a double-pointed white arrow connects the controller pair

selections.

The Controller View Window

5. Item #5 in Figure 3-2 is the Controller View for the controller selected

in the controller selection box. WSAM opens with the controller view

of controller C-0 displayed by default. The controller view displays

controller channels, physical devices, and logical drives. See Chapter 5

for additional information.

Components of the Log Information Viewer

6. Item #6 in Figure 3-2 is the WSAM Log Information Viewer. Each line

in the Log Information Viewer identifies a single event (error, status,

warning, etc.) which was noted during monitoring by the local server

and was transmitted to WSAM. Relevant details accompany the event:

• Event ID. Displays an icon showing whether the event is

informational, cautionary, a warning, etc., plus the identification

number assigned to this event

• Severity. The severity level of this event

• Source. The source is always the local server. This column is blank.

• Source Time. Day of the week, month, day of the month, time of

day, and year on the local server when this event occurred

• Device Address. Relevant channel/target activity and other data

pertaining to why this event posted

• Description. Text of the message describing what occurred

• Sequence (Seq). Number representing where this event fell in a

sequence of possibly related events

• Local Time. For WSAM, usually the same as Source Time.
