I know of 2 options:

1) The SWCC product.  It is an online monitor for the HSZ*
	much like the SWXCRMON program.  It does require a
	Windows or NT system on the network (last I knew
	anyway).

2) Look at the Digital UNIX error log.  As of V4.0A virtually
	all HSZ events are put into the error log (you do need
	DECevent to understand them however; uerf just dumps
	the HSZ data in hex).  For V3.2G and earlier, then get
	the latest cam_disk.o patches (which includes this new
	logging code as well).

    I agree with fred, the unix error logging will show errors that occur
    on devices on the hsz, even if they are part of a raid set.
    
    you could use tip, but it is very expensive in terms of cpu.
859.3Thanks for your inputs...LEMAN::MARTIN_ABe vigilant...Mon May 05 1997 10:0310
    Thanks for your inputs.
    
    The cam_disk.o patch was provided a few days ago, hope it'll
    fit my customer needs, he'll run emergency tests soon so I'll
    update this note if we encounter any surprise by then ...
    
    Cheers,
