Using the management service
The management service is a component of Adaptec Storage Manager that runs in the background. Its job is to monitor
and manage iSCSI storage.
After you add management service, you can configure it to:
- Notify users by email when events occur on the enclosures connected to the management service.
Use the Email Notification Manager, in the Management Service Configuration GUI, 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,
in the Management Service Configuration GUI, to add users to the security list.
-
Send SNMP traps. You can receive SNMP traps using any available
SNMP management program. Use the SNMP Trap Manager, in the Management Service Configuration GUI,
to add systems to the SNMP traps destination list.
-
Monitor storage provisioning jobs, such as volume and snapshot creation. Use the Job Manager,
in the Management Service Configuration GUI, to view jobs, undo jobs, and abort jobs.
-
Manage scheduled jobs, such as a snapshot of volume data. Use the Schedule Manager,
in the Management Service Configuration GUI, to view scheduled jobs, modify scheduled jobs, and delete scheduled jobs.
The management service 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, GUI connection, and
every 30 days
