The Events tab for c-Class racks or enclosures displays all current device events in the enclosure or rack in table view.

The event table view page is divided into the following sections:

Event view

From this page, you can clear, delete, and assign events, enter comments on the event, and view printable reports.

Filter Criteria

The Event list can be filtered using the Filter Criteria dropdown list to view individual systems, such as blades, switches or Onboard Administrator events, separately or you can view all events.

To filter the Event list:

  1. From the Filter Criteria dropdown list, select a criteria:

    • All Onboard Administrator Events. Events that are reported by all Onboard Administrators included in the selected rack or enclosure. This option is only available for c-Class racks or enclosures.

    • All Blade Events. Events that are reported by all blades included in the selected rack or enclosure. This option is available for e-Class enclosures as well as p-Class and c-Class racks or enclosures.

    • All Switch Events. Events that are reported by all switches included in the selected rack or enclosure. This option is available for p-Class and c-Class racks or enclosures.

    • All Events. Events that are exposed by all devices in the selected rack or enclosure. This option is available for p-Class and c-Class racks or enclosures.

  2. The filtered Event list appears.

Event Status Legend

The legend shows how many events in the view are Critical, Major, Minor, Normal, and Informational.

Event Details

The event collection can be displayed by clicking:

  • An event collection from the Systems and Events panel

  • An event status icon in the System Status panel

  • The All Events Associated with this System link from the System Page

  • A private event collection

  • A hyperlink in the Uncleared Events section on the System Overview page

Event collections are filtered based on authorizations. Users can only view events on systems for which they have the appropriate authorization.

When HP Storage Essentials is installed, a link in this section allows you to view the corresponding event details in HP Storage Essentials.

Event Collection Columns

Sort collection results by a particular column, click the column header for ascending or descending order. Place your cursor over a column name for a brief description of the column.

The following columns are displayed:

Selection

Select the checkbox in this column to select an event. You can select more than one event. Select the checkbox in the column heading to select or deselect all displayed events.

State

This column displays whether the event is in the Cleared or Not Cleared state. Events start in the Not Cleared state. A Cleared state means the user is no longer interested in this event. Event states also include In Progress, indicating not all the data for the event has been logged. Events in an In Progress state cannot be removed or cleared. A restart of the HP SIM CMS moves any pending state events to Not Cleared.

Severity

This column displays the event status icon to indicate the severity of a problem represented by the event.

Event Type

This column displays the type of an event. Some examples are SNMP traps, login failures, or the replicate agent settings too. Select an event type from the list to view the Event Details section. The information displayed varies depending on the event. If you cannot see the entire event type in the column, place your cursor over this field, and a popup window is displayed that shows the entire event type name.

System Name

This column displays the name of the system on which the event occurred. Clicking a link in this column displays the System Page for the selected system.

When an event occurs that affects an entire rack or enclosure, it is possible for several systems in that rack or enclosure to generate a trap for that event. These container traps are filtered such that only one event is logged per rack or enclosure trap. Also, even though the source of the trap may be a blade server or management processor, HP Systems Insight Manager sets the Event Source and Associated System for the logged event to the rack or enclosure, as appropriate.

Event Time

This column displays the time stamp when the HP SIM CMS received this event, which includes the date and time. If the system is in a different time zone than the event time (CMS time), the event time is converted to the system time zone.

Assigned To

To assign responsibility for an event to a user, select the event, and click [Assign to] at the bottom of the page. The Assign to section appears, which enables you to select to assign a new assignee or use an existing assignee. If you select to use an existing assignee, you can only select one user name from the list. This name does not have to be a user with privileges on the system or a name that can be used to log into the CMS. This field is free-form text.

Comments

This column either displays any existing comments for this event or is blank if no comments have been entered. Comments are truncated in the column itself. Click the event type to view the entire comment if needed, or place your cursor over a comment field, causing a pop-up window that shows the entire comment to appear.

System Type

This column displays system types such as enclosure or rack.

Rack Name

This column displays the name of the rack.

This column displays when the system is a rack or enclosure.

Enclosure Name

This column displays the name of the enclosure.

This column displays when the system is a rack or enclosure.

Event Management Buttons

Five buttons at the bottom of the event table view page are available to users with full-configuration-rights only. These buttons might not appear depending on where you access this page from. For example, when creating a task and selecting targets, there are no buttons displayed, only the table or system names.

  • [Clear]. This button is used to clear one or more events from the database. Select the events to clear, and click [Clear].

  • [Delete]. This button is used to delete one or more events from the database. Select the events to be deleted, and then click [Delete]. A dialog box appears. Click [OK] to continue with the deletion, or click [Cancel] to cancel the deletion.

  • [Assign to]. This button is used to assign responsibility for events to a particular user.

  • [Enter Comments]. Brings up a dialog box to enter comments for one or more events.

  • [Print]. When the report is displayed, select FilePrint from the browser menu to print the report.

Buttons are disabled if you do not have appropriate privileges. However, the print button is displayed for all users.
