Monitoring the K2 Lx0 RAID with NetCentral
Before you begin monitoring with NetCentral
The following systems must be in place before you can begin monitoring your K2 Lx0
RAID with NetCentral:
• NetCentral manager software must be installed and operating correctly on the
NetCentral server. Refer to the NetCentral User Guide.
• The NetCentral server and the K2 Lx0 RAID must be on the network and be able
to communicate with one another. To verify, use the ping command at the
MS-DOS command prompt.
• The K2 Lx0 RAID device provider must be installed on the NetCentral server PC.
In NetCentral manager, click File | New | Device Provider and follow the on-screen
instructions to install the K2 RAID Lx0 device provider. Refer to the NetCentral
User Guide for a detailed procedure.
When these prerequisites are met, continue with the next procedure “Adding the K2
Lx0 RAID to NetCentral” .
Adding the K2 Lx0 RAID to NetCentral
The following procedure adds the K2 Lx0 RAID to the NetCentral manager tree view
and automatically sets the SNMP trap destination on the K2 Lx0 RAID. Setting the
SNMP trap destination ensures that K2 Lx0 RAID status messages are sent to the
NetCentral server.
NOTE: If the K2 Lx0 RAID device has two controllers, keep in mind that there is a
SNMP agent on each controller. Therefore, each controller must be configured.
(Be sure that both controllers are configured in the same manner, e.g. identical
community names.)
To add the K2 Lx0 RAID to the NetCentral tree view:
1. If you have not already done so, log on to NetCentral manager with NetCentral
administrator-level access rights. Refer to the NetCentral User Guide for
information about logging on and application security.
2. In NetCentral, click File | New | Device .
The Add Device dialog box opens.
