■ Using configuration files
■ Monitoring the status of the RA3000
■ Setting up pager notification
CAUTION: For your client system to receive updates about your subsystems
over a TCP/IP network, the following must occur:
■ The Asynchronous Event Service (AES) must be running.
■ The agent service must be running.
■ Your client system must be on the agent’s list of client system entries.
About the AES
(TCP/IP Network Connections Only)
The AES is a component of the Command Console client. It runs in the
background as a service that provides status updates of the subsystems to its
client system. For a client system to receive updates it must be running AES
and the agent must also be running. When AES receives a new trap (message),
it passes the trap to the Navigation Tree of the client system that has AES
running. The Navigation Tree, in turn, passes the trap to the appropriate
Storage windows. You can identify a new trap that has been passed to the
Navigation Tree because the status of one or more of its icons will change.
AES can also send traps to predefined pager numbers. To activate this
function, you must predefine each pager number in the User Profile section of
the Event Notification menu.
You can change whether AES starts at boot time. You can also stop or start
AES. However, you need AES running to receive pages notifying you of faults
and to provide updates to the Navigation Tree and Storage window. If AES is
stopped, the client software will no longer provide updates to the Navigation
Tree and Storage window. There will also not be any pager fault notification.
