Viewing Events from the Management Server
By default the management server displays events from all of the elements, regardless of the user’s
organization. However, it does not display its own events. To view events from the management
server:
•
Select the All or
Type menu. See ”
Specifying a Filter for Events Forwarded from Storage Essentials to HP SIM
page 350 for more information about the menu options.
•
Click the Customize button next to the Show Element Type 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, and then click Apply Filters.
Avoiding Excessive Notification
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 kept
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.
Issues with Sun StorEdge or QLogic Switches
•
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.
Issues with NetApp Filers
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.
