VNXe Alerts

Hi Everyone,

is any possibility on VNXe series (especially VNXe 3150 - 2.4.1.21171) to clear or acknowledge old Alerts?

I'm looking for solution other than reinitialize whole system

Regards,

Adam

    Hi Adam,

         Thank you for posting your question on EMC forum. In 2.4.1.21171, you may run following command from SSH session to VNXe management IP to clear Unisphere alert(System-->System Alerts) and Unisphere log(System-->log)

    Command: svc_purge_c4logs -n : Maximum log records to keep.

    If you want to clear out all logs, provide number to 0.

    There is no way to clear logs from web interface.

    Regards,

    Swapnil

    Hello Adam,

    Alert logs on Unisphere are persistent and cannot be removed anymore.

    Yes, we cannot remove alert logs from VNXe Unisphere.

    But, Swapnil mentioned method can resolve the issue.

    Hello all!

    Will this help clear informational errors regarding upgrades as well?

    Jarret,

    Yes running the purge logs in CLI through SSH will in fact  "purge" the database where the Unisphere alert log file reside. So it should remove the upgrade alerts. However, the upgrade alerts will continue until you are on the current code.
