Using the management service agent
The management service agent is a monitoring agent for external RAID storage.
After you add an agent, you can configure the management service to:
- Notify users by email when events occur on the enclosures connected to the management service.
Use the Email Notification Manager, from the Management Service Configuration console, to add recipients
to the email notification list.
- Prevent unauthorized users from
connecting to the management service using its built-in security feature. The management service checks the security
list user name and password to ensure that only authorized users can log in.
Use the Security Manager,
from the Management Service Configuration console, to add users to the agent security list.
-
Send SNMP traps. You can receive SNMP traps using any available
SNMP management program. Use the SNMP Trap Manager, from the Management Service Configuration console,
to add systems to the SNMP traps destination list.
-
Monitor storage provisioning jobs, such as volume and snapshot creation. Use the Job Manager,
from the Management Service Configuration console, to view jobs, undo jobs, and abort jobs.
-
Manage scheduled jobs, such as a snapshot of volume data. Use the Schedule Manager,
from the Management Service Configuration console, to view scheduled jobs, modify scheduled jobs, and delete scheduled jobs.
The agent monitors and generates events for critical or fatal
problems in the enclosure configuration every 5 seconds. These changes include,
but are not limited to:
- failed drives
- S.M.A.R.T. drives
- Failed battery
- Failed or degraded logical devices
- Failed controllers
- Enclosure problems
- Non-warranted drives. An event is sent at startup, console connection, and
every 30 days
