*1: [Y1] indicates that detail information on device internal elements can be displayed. [Y2] indicates that information on the device and FC port can be displayed.

*2: Fibre Channel Switch blade devices using SNMP can be used with ETERNUS8000, ETERNUS6000, ETERNUS4000, ETERNUS3000, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS DX60/DX80,ETERNUS SN200 series Fibre Channel switch and PRIMEGRY BX600 Fibre Channel switch blade. A server node with Agent already installed uses a unique protocol. The other devices use ping for monitoring.

*3: The "Detect device in subnet" function is not supported by the devices below. Use the "Detect by IP address" function to specify an IP address for each device. For server nodes, use the "Register server" function.

*4: For devices supporting SNMP Traps, this function is enabled by creating a SNMP Trap XML definition file.

*5: For devices supporting LAN, ping monitoring is enabled by specifying an IP address at manual embedding.

*6: SNMP Trap transmission must be set for each device. (This software does not automatically make said setting.)

*7: Since no vendor-specific trap is available, only traps common to devices can be displayed.

*8: In the disk array device of ETERNUS VD800, access paths to the FC-CA port to be connected to a host server cannot be set or deleted. Logical information of the FC-CA port to be connected to a host server is not displayed in the related management information. Use VDSC (Virtual Disk Service Console) to set the access paths or check the display of logical information.

*9: ETERNUS SX300, ETERNUS SX300S do not support device-polling monitoring.

*10: The performance information can be referenced using Systemwalker Service Quality Coordinator. However, the ETERNUS SN200 MDS series Fibre Channel switch is not supported.

*11: The fault monitoring function by receiving SNMP Traps is not supported.
