Customizing the Adaptec Storage Manager

Agent

The Adaptec Storage Manager agent’s default settings are suitable for
most storage spaces. (See

page 17

for more information about the

agent.) However, you can customize the agent on any system by:

Setting the agent to broadcast events on that system to all logged-in
users. See below.

Changing the frequency and duration of the alarm, or choose to
disable the alarm for that system. See

page 67

.

Changing the operating system event log setting for that system. See

page 69

.

Changing to agent base port number on that system. See

page 69

.

Any changes you make to the agent settings affect the selected system
only and are not applied to all systems in your storage space.

Broadcasting Event Alerts from a System

You can set the Adaptec Storage Manager agent to send event alerts
about a specific system to all users who are logged into your storage
space network. You might want to do this if your storage space isn’t
managed by a dedicated person, or if that particular system is off-site or
isn’t connected to a monitor.

Event alerts signal to everyone working on the storage space that
technical assistance is required for that system.

Changing a System’s Audible Alarm Settings

Warning- and Error-level events on a system (see

page 101

) trigger an

audible alarm, a series of beeps which sound every five minutes until
the event is resolved.

You can change the frequency and duration of the alarm, or choose to
disable the alarm on any system. For information about using the
audible alarm, see

page 121
