Event Management 468
Notes from the table:
1 Not all events that show up in the webtool appears in Event Manager.
2 Not all events that show up in EFCM will appear in Event Manager.
3 Need to configure the switch or proxy to send traps to the management server.
4 Also applies to Sun StorEdge switches.
5 Also applies to EMC Connectrix switches.
6 To receive events from NetApp filers, you must add the management server address as an SNMP
trap host on the NetApp filer.
7 To receive events from HP EVA storage systems, you must add the management server address as
an SNMP trap host in Command View 6.x. See the Release Notes for more details about properly
configuring the system for SNMP traps.
Keep in mind the following:
• By default the management server displays events from all of the elements, except those from
itself. If you want to view events from the management server
• Select the All or option from the Show
Element Type drop-down menu. See ” Selecting an Element Type for Events ” on page 479
for more information about the menu options.
• Click the Customize button next to the Show Element Type drop-down menu in Event
Manager. Select the management server and then click OK.
When you are asked if you want to apply your changes, click Yes. Then, click the Apply Filters
button.
• The management server provides separate event notification for every event that is reported from
the devices it is monitoring. Excessive notification could delay provisioning, as the providers are
busy notifying the management server of the events. If you do not want the management server
to be notified of every event, modify the event threshold of the devices to filter out some of the
events. Refer to the documentation accompanying the device for more information about setting
the threshold.
• To receive events from Sun StorEdge or QLogic switches, verify the SNMP trap community string
is set to public in SANbox Manager or through telnet. Also, make sure the SNMP traps are
configured to be sent to the management server.
• The management server does not receive SNMP v1 traps from Sun StorEdge switches that have
the SNMPv1 agent.
• If you want the management server to be able to receive events from a NetApp Filer, you must
add the IP address of the management server CIMOM to the NetApp configuration. The
management server CIMOM runs on the same computer running the management server by
default.
• Event Manager displays events from all elements regardless of the user’s organization.
