Configuring the UPS monitor

Use this action to configure uninterruptible power supply (UPS) monitor settings for the enclosures in your SAN storage system. Each enclosure can have different settings.

You can monitor the UPS using a USB or SNMP connection. For a USB connection, you must identify the local USB host; that is, the enclosure directly connected to the USB port on the UPS. Then, for each additional enclosure, or remote USB host, you must identify the enclosure with the direct USB connection. For a SNMP connection, you just need to identify the SNMP host.

To configure UPS monitor settings:

  1. In the Enterprise view, click Enclosure (enclosure) that you want to configure.
  2. Right click Configue UPS monitor. The "UPS configuration" window opens.
  3. From the Connection Type drop-down list, choose the UPS monitoring protocol: None, SNMP, Local USB, or Remote USB.
  4. For a local USB connection, click ; the "Add Remote USB Enclosure" window opens. Then, add enclosures to the remote enclosure list; that is, enclosures that will communicate with the local USB host.

    Note: To remove an enclosure from the remote enclosure list, click .

  5. For a remote USB connection, type the local USB host name or TCP/IP address in the USB Connected Enclosure field.
  6. For a SNMP connection, type the SNMP host name or TCP/IP address in the UPS SNMP Name field.
  7. In the Enclosure Actions box, specify the remaining battery life, in minutes, for each of the following actions: Note: When setting these values, keep in mind that Caches Disabled > Initiators Logged Out > Enclosure Powered Off (where '>' means greater than).
  8. Click OK.
  9. Repeat steps 1-8 for each additional enclosure in your network.
