Collecting the Physical Disk Data
You can use the Collect Physical Disk Data option to collect log sense data
from all the physical disks on your storage array.
Log sense data consists of statistical information that is maintained by each
of the physical disks in your storage array. Your Technical Support
representative can use this information to analyze the performance of your
physical disks and for troubleshooting problems that may exist.
WARNING: Use this option only under the guidance of your Technical Support
representative.

Event Log
You can use the Event Log Viewer to view a detailed list of events that occur
in a storage array. The event log is stored on reserved areas on the storage array
disks. It records configuration events and storage array component failures.
WARNING: Use this option only under the guidance of your Technical Support
representative.
The event log stores approximately 8000 events before it replaces an event
with a new event. If you want to keep the events, you may save them, and
clear them from the event log.
