ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser V16.9 Operation Guide

12.1.4 Setup Procedure

Follow the procedure below on the Systemwalker Centric Manager operation management client.
Log in to the administrative client with a user name belonging to the Administrators group of the local group.

12.1.4.1 Setup on Systemwalker Centric Manager Administrative Client

1. On the Systemwalker Centric Manager administrative client, perform the procedure to detect a node in a subnet that contains storage devices.

2. Register the window start method in the pop-up menu of the node.

   Register the start method of this software in the pop-up menu of the node of the storage device, using the "mpaplreg" command of Systemwalker Centric Manager. Specify the following arguments for the -m option or -c option of the "mpaplreg" command.

   Option	Description of the Arguments to Specify
   -m	Specify "ESC". If "ESC" is being used by another application, specify a string that is not being used.
   -c	Specify "\"<Web browser execution path>\" \"https://ipAddress:portNumber/\"". <Web browser execution path> When using Internet Explorer Specify the absolute path of iexplore.exe. When using Firefox Specify the absolute path of firefox.exe. ipAddress Specify the IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of theManagement Server of this software. portNumber Specify the port number of "Web Console service (ETERNUS SF Manager Apache service)" of this software. Default is 9855.

   See

   Refer to the Systemwalker Centric Manager manuals for information on the "mpaplreg" command.

Note

• The operating environment must be set up in such a way that the Management Server of this software recognizes the association between "Name" and "IP address" in case that Systemwalker Centric Manager detects the added storage device node by "Name", but not "IP address". Check that the device name can be resolved by the DNS on the Management Server of this software. Software linkage from this software to Systemwalker Centric Manager fails if the Management Server of this software does not recognize the association between an IP number and a node name.

• Perform this operation each time a new storage device is added.

• When the event that is displayed as Info in the status item of the event log window is reported to Systemwalker Centric Manager, it is regarded as "Display Mode: general" and is not displayed on the monitoring window. If you want to display it, execute [Display Mode in the Monitored Viewer] from Action > Action Setting > Message on the Systemwalker Centric Manager menu. Refer to the Systemwalker Centric Manager manual for details about [Display Mode in the Monitored Viewer].

• If the starting method of the Management Server of this software is changed, execute the "mpaplreg" command to delete the registered menu, and register it again.

• Confirm the content of registration by the following commands when the icon of this software is not displayed in the pop-up menu of the storage device node though the menu addition by the "mpaplreg" command has normally.

• After completing the procedure, restart the Systemwalker Centric Manager administrative client, and execute "node detection" in the monitoring area. Updating of registered icons is enabled in the display.

• A parameter error (swsag5101) occurs if the mpaplreg command contains an invalid parameter when starts from the batch file.

12.1.4.2 Action to Be Taken If Systemwalker Centric Manager Administrative Server and This Software Management Server Are Same Server

If the Systemwalker Centric Manager administrative server and the Management Server of this software are the same server, both Systemwalker Centric Manager and this software receive and display SNMP Traps from devices. Perform the following task to prevent Systemwalker Centric Manager from directly receiving and displaying SNMP Traps from devices:

Suppressing Systemwalker Centric Manager Reception of SNMP Traps from Devices Managed by This Software

If one server node has the Systemwalker Centric Manager administrative server and Management Server of this software, the following steps prevent Systemwalker Centric Manager from direct reception of SNMP Traps of devices managed by this software. As a result, SNMP Traps would be received and decoded by this software and only SNMP Traps necessary for fault monitoring would be posted to Systemwalker Centric Manager. Consequently, when the SNMP Trap display function supported by Systemwalker Centric Manager is used, multiple traps appear for a single event or unnecessary SNMP Traps are displayed.

Information

These settings are not required if the Systemwalker Centric Manager-supported SNMP Trap display function is enabled.

1. From a Systemwalker Centric Manager administrative client, select [Event] - [Action Definition] in "System Monitoring."

   The Monitored Event Table dialog appears.

   

2. Select [Event] - [Event Addition] in the Monitored Event Table dialog.

   The Event Definition dialog appears.

   

   Define the following items:

   Host Name

   Check "Not specified".

   Monitored Event Type

   Check "Not specified".

   Error Type

   Check "Not specified".

   Message Number

   Check "Not specified".

   Display Mode (Only for Systemwalker Centric Manager 5.1 or Later)

   Check "Not specified".

   Label

   Check "Not specified".

   Text

   Specify one of the values shown below for an event definition.
   Be sure to define this item only when individual devices are being managed. Otherwise, the item need not be defined.

   The Action Definition dialog appears.

   

   Select the [Message] tab, and define the following items:

   Check "No"

4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for each of the text messages in the "Table 12.1 Lists of Text".
   If the SNMP standard trap is reported as an event from a storage device, refer to the above description, and suppress transmission of the SNMP standard trap according to your operation mode.

12.1.4.3 Setting Confirmation Test

If the management device is the ETERNUS DX series, ETERNUS AF All-Flash Arrays, ETERNUS DX200F or Fibre Channel switch device, a procedure and command are provided which allow you to check if the Systemwalker Centric Manager linkage is correctly set. Execute the "5.3 Checking SNMP Trap Settings" to check if it is properly running.

The figure below shows an example of the Systemwalker Centric Manager window displayed during event linkage with Systemwalker Centric Manager.
