Centralized Event Monitoring
Icons of the devices managed by this software are displayed in the monitoring window of the Systemwalker Centric Manager administrative client.
When an SNMP Trap is received from a monitored device, this software obtains only an event related to a fault and decodes it appropriately. This event is sent to Systemwalker Centric Manager to display the event. As a result, Systemwalker Centric Manager can be used to integrate existing server node management and storage device monitoring of this software. Moreover, functions such as Systemwalker Centric Manager E-mail and pager can then be used for fault monitoring of the server node and storage devices.
By directly managing the storage equipment from Systemwalker Centric Manager, easier setup is achieved and more comprehensible troubleshooting reports are produced.
The icon for a device where a fault has occurred is indicated by "X" in Systemwalker Centric Manager, and information about the fault is displayed as event contents. When the event content is checked and action is taken for the fault, "Action" is marked for the event. This operation clears the "X" state. The "X" state is not restored automatically by recovery from the fault.
"SSC" is indicated in the message for an event linked by this function to Systemwalker Centric Manager.
Linkage Through Window Operations
On the Systemwalker Centric Manager monitoring window, select a menu item that was added to this software from the pop-up menu of a node of the faulty storage device, and then start it. This facilitates troubleshooting of the faulty storage device.
