I do have sysloging configure. I wasn't sure if all of the errors would be sent to syslog. If they are I was curious if anyone worked out what all of the possile events being logged would be. I was trying to configure some filters for alerting that would capture the correct events.

 

 

I have started adding filters for "err kernel" and was loking to add anything that would caputer disk or raid erorrs.

 

 

In the last couple of months I replace three complete units(all 6900) and a drive that was in one of the replacement units.

 

 

I logged cases for everything but support has not found anything that would be causing so many failures.
