Storage Essentials 5.1 User Guide 469
• Event Manager displays events it receives from CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager. As of version 9.5
of CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager, InVsn Enterprise Manager does not provide events to the
management server. As future versions of CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager provide event support,
the management server will be able to provide information about those events.
Issues with Brocade Switches
• Event Manager does not display events from Brocade switches with the firmware version 3.0.
This firmware version is not supported by Event Manager. You can, however, specify Event
Manager not to display events from additional firmware versions. See ” Filtering Events ” on
page 476.
• Events from Brocade Fabric Watch have “Fabric watch:” in their heading, as shown in the
following example:
Fabric watch: threshold is below low boundary, Value:30 Class: Environment
ClassArea: Temperature Index: 1 EventType: Below EventState: Faulty
Issues with McDATA and Connectrix Switches
• If you discovered McDATA and/or Connectrix switches through SWAPI, Event Manager does not
report events for switch hardware failures, except for those regarding switch ports (port
off-line/port online).
• If you are not receiving events from McDATA and Connectrix switches discovered through SNMP,
make sure you have the correct port set for receiving SNMP traps. You must also configure the
proxy or each switch (depending on your configuration for discovery) to send the SNMP traps to
the correct port on the management server. See ” Discovering McDATA and EMC Connectrix
Switches ” on page 48 for more information.
• If you want the management server to receive SNMP events from Connectrix or McDATA
switches, do one of the following:
• If you discovered Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager, only enable SNMP trap forwarding
to the management server on the Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager, not on the
individual switches. Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager should be configured to forward
SNMP traps to the IP address of the management server, and the community string should
match the user ID you used to discover Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager.
• If you discovered Connectrix or McDATA switches directly, enable SNMP trap forwarding on
the switches, not on any other management software. The switches should be configured to
forward SNMP traps to the IP address of the management server, and the community string
should match the user ID you used to discover the Connectrix or McDATA switches.
Issue with CLARiiON Storage Systems
When you manage a CLARiiON storage system, extraneous events appear in Event Manager such
as “CRU Bound,” “CRU Enabled,” and various “Success” messages. These do not indicate problems
and can safely be ignored.
