Detailed Description

Facilitates logging Event Management System (EMS) AutoSupport messages. You can use this cmdlet to determine the underlying administration server, and to send messages to that server, for your specified SMB share or logical disk. Your application can use this cmdlet to log events with different severity levels in EMS and to send corresponding AutoSupport messages about backup, restore, and similar operations, errors, or failures.

Examples

Example 1: Logging a test EMS AutoSupport message

 PS C:\> Invoke-SdEmsAutosupportLog -Path \\172.17.165.40\root -EventId 111 -EventSource "SDW" -AppVersion "1.0" -Category "test" -EventDescription "This is testing message from NextGenSDW." -LogLevel 6

In this example syntax, you send a test EMS log message to the virtual storage server to which the SMB share belongs. The cluster server display the following message:

TimeNode Severity  Event
------------------ ---------------- -------------  ------------------------
8/14/2012 11:47:54  mvaqa-3270-1-01  INFORMATIONAL app.log.info: SNAPMGR-06: SDW 7.0: (111) test: This is testing message from SnapDrive.

Example 2: Logging and generating a test EMS AutoSupport message

 PS C:\> Invoke-SdEmsAutosupportLog -Path \\172.17.165.40\root -EventId 111 -EventSource "SDW" -AppVersion "1.0" -Category "test" -EventDescription "This is testing message from SnapDrive." -LogLevel 6 -GenerateAutosupport

In this example syntax, you log a test message in EMS and send an AutoSupport message to the virtual storage server to which the SMB share belongs.

Example 3: Logging a test EMS AutoSupport message in a clustered environment

 PS C:\> Invoke-SdEmsAutosupportLog -Path E: -EventId 111 -EventSource "SDW" -AppVersion "1.0" -Category "test" -EventDescription "This is testing message from SnapDrive." -LogLevel 6

In this example syntax, you send a test EMS log message to the virtual storage server to which the SMB share belongs.

The cluster server displays the following message:
TimeNode Severity  Event
------------------  ---------------  -----------   -------------------------
8/14/2012 11:47:54  mvaqa-3270-1-01  INFORMATIONAL app.log.info: SNAPMGR-06: SDW 7.0: (111) test: This is testing message from SnapDrive.

Example 4: Logging a test EMS AutoSupport message using a storage system

 PS C:\> Invoke-SdEmsAutosupportLog -StorageSystem 172.17.165.39 -EventId 111 -EventSource "SDW" -AppVersion "1.0" -Category "test" -EventDescription "This is testing message from SnapDrive." -LogLevel 6

In this example syntax, you send a test EMS log message to the virtual storage server used as the storage system.

The cluster server displays the following message:
TimeNode Severity  Event
------------------  ---------------  ------------  -------------------------   11/15/2012 16:13:43 mvaqa-3270-1-02  INFORMATIONAL app.log.info: CLAB-A13-10: SDW 7.0: (111) test: This is testing message from SnapDrive.
