FaultId                   : 0ef62dbe-657a-483e-a248-7c5c1dc82477
FaultingObject            :
FaultingObjectDescription : Storage appliance server '{ac906082-8b7e-44fc-b9e5-7bd8aa749958}:SN:GalenB-VM6'.
FaultingObjectLocation    :
FaultType                 : ServerDownFault
PerceivedSeverity         : Minor
Reason                    : The server cannot be reached.
