ping

Devices supporting automatic detection, other than the above devices.
Manually embedded devices for which IP addresses are set.

With either SNMP or ping, Systemwalker Centric Manager linkage and Shell/bat linkage are enabled by default. The swsag code reported to Centric Manager is 4822. The linkage behavior can be modified. For information see "C.10 Device Polling Setting File".

Users can customize polling intervals, the time at which operation stops, the specification of devices to be excluded from polling operation, and other device polling functions. For details, see "C.10 Device Polling Setting File".

Note

  • This function does not support manual embedding devices for which no IP address is set.

  • When the device polling detects a change in network or device status, any event of "Device Polling Event" in the "ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser Event Guide" is displayed. However, when the state change of device is detected by executing [Refresh] operation, the following events are not displayed. Confirm the state from a device icon.

Information

To use SNMP, define "public" as the community name. For information on communication with a different community name, see "SNMP_COMMUNITY_NAME_FOR_IP" in the "C.2 sanma.conf Parameter", so that an appropriate community name can be set.
