B. Procedure completion
C. Configuration change
D. No AC input for power supply

Controller termination event log

Controller termination events report that a controller has ceased operation, but do not report on
controllers in uninitialized arrays.

Management server event log

The management server is the server on which HP P6000 Command View is installed.
Management server events are triggered by:
- Responses to user actions in the user interface
- Actions initiated through the HP P6000 Command View application program
interface (API)

Controller event log

A controller event is a normal or exceptional action on any hardware component or
logical object within the array. Examples of controller events are:
- Disk or disk enclosure changes
- Configuration changes (such as creating a disk group)
- Controller reboots
- Changes detected by the environmental monitoring unit (EMU) within the array (does
not apply to the EVAx400 or P6000 models)
A normal event is informational and requires no action by you. An example of a normal
event would be the controller reporting that creation of a virtual disk has completed. An
example of an exceptional event would be a disk enclosure that has lost communication
on a Fibre Channel loop.

CAUTION: Uninitializing an array deletes all of the controller events cached in the
controllers.

Controller termination event log

Controller termination events report that a controller has ceased operation, but do not
report on controllers in uninitialized arrays.

26) What is the approximate maximum virtual disk size for a disk
group with 10 36GB drives and a disk protection level of Single?
A. 134 GB
B. 202 GB
C. 270 GB
D. 338 GB

Answer: C
Explanation:
To find out the maximum virtual disk size, you have to multiply 10 by
36. That makes 360 GB.
Now you have to calculate the spare allocation. Normally space
allocation is calculated by dividing 36 GB by 4. The result will be 90
GB. Now minus 90 GB from 360 and you will get 270 GB as the
maximum virtual disk size for a disk group.
