Drive Status Critical - Showing In SIM, Not In Server Eventvwr

[Bill_241]

HP,

We have a server that sends us "Critical" messages about a disk (see below)every four to eight days. It is set to "Write to the system log". Unfortunately we have not seen any disk messages in the actual server's event log. We realize that some event logs could have been deleted by mistake, but don't think this is the case.

Question: If we keep getting these messages via SIM and do not see anything in the event log of the server, what should we believe? Should we go ahead and swap out the drive?

Which log are you referring to? The Windows Event Log or the IML?
