Grass Valley K2 Lx0 RAID - Manual (Page 3)

September 7, 2007 Monitoring the K2 Lx0 RAID with NetCentral 3
Adding the K2 Lx0 RAID to NetCentral
3. Enter the K2 Lx0 RAID IP address.
By default, the RAID device uses the community name public.If your site’s
security policies dictate using a different SNMP community name, contact your Grass
Valley representative.
4. Select K2 RAID Lx0 in the Device Type drop-down list, then click OK .
NetCentral Manager attempts to communicate with the RAID device. When contact
is made, the RAID device is added to the NetCentral tree view and NetCentral
automatically sets the SNMP trap destination address on the RAID. This may take a
few moments.
5. In the tree view, hover your cursor over the RAID. The RAID's SNMP agent is on
the controller, so if the RAID chassis has two controllers, the chassis is represented
as two devices in NetCentral. Identify the tooltip displayed, and proceed as
follows:
• If the tooltip only identifies the device as a K2 Lx0 RAID and has no message
regarding trap validation, it means that NetCentral successfully entered the IP
address of the NetCentral server as an SNMP trap destination on the RAID and
then successfully received a test trap message from the device. A RAID with this
tooltip is fully monitored by NetCentral and requires no further steps.
• If a K2 Lx0 RAID has a “…Traps not validated…” tooltip message, one of the
following conditions applies. In the Messages view, check the K2 Lx0 RAID’s
SNMP Trap Target Status message to determine which condition applies and
then proceed as indicated:
- NetCentral is in the process of testing the K2 Lx0 RAID to validate its SNMP
trap messages. After a few minutes check the RAID again for a change in its
SNMP Trap Target Status message reflecting the test results.
- NetCentral tried to configure SNMP properties but was not successful. In
most cases this means you must configure SNMP properties manually. You
can set the SNMP trap destination by launching the Grass Valley Storage
Utility from within the K2 System Configuration application. Refer to the K2
Storage System Instruction Manual for procedures. To configure other
SNMP properties, contact your Grass Valley representative.
