Storage Node system are logged in the Event Log of the Monitoring Events menu.
An example of one of the most common errors that can be reviewed and fixed from the Event
Log is the error 1630 “Number of Device Logins Reduced”. This error happens when an
underlying disk array looses connectivity through one or more of its ports that are zoned to
and connected to the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node. Few possible reasons for that
could be a faulty Fibre Channel connection, a SAN-switch that was rebooted or if an
underlying disk array controller was taken out for service.
