Monitoring Events

Storage Management Appliance Software V2.0 User Guide

Supported Devices The Management Appliance can decode SNMP trap

information for some devices and as a result can provide a detailed description of

what happened. Such devices are called supported devices. Supported devices

have a detailed definition for each event type that the device can generate. See the

Storage Management Appliance Software V2.0 Event Code Definitions

Application Notes for a complete list of supported devices and the event code

definitions available for each device type. This document is available at the

following website.

The following device types are currently supported with event code definitions:

■

HP StorageWorks SAN and Brocade Switches

■

HP StorageWorks and McData Switches

■

NetApp Filers (Network Attached Storage - NAS - devices)

Unsupported Devices Discovered devices generating SNMP traps that cannot be

decoded (have no event code definitions) are called unsupported devices and

these include the following:

■

Host computers

■

Network Attached Storage (NAS) elements with the exception of NetApp

Filer devices

■

Hubs

■

Modular Data Routers (MDR)

Only the following information is available for an SNMP trap received from an

unsupported device.

■

Source IP address

■

Trap OID (MIB identifier)

■

Generic trap type

■

Specific trap type

When the Management Appliance receives an unsupported trap, that application

generates a new “unsupported trap received” event (event code 880A02BC;

severity - Information) that includes the basic trap information plus the date and

time. A Management Appliance user can then elect to receive notification of this

Management Appliance event type.
