Configuring the Adaptec Storage Manager agent

You can configure the Adaptec Storage Manager agent port number and alarm. You can also configure the Adaptec Storage Manager agent to log events to the operating system event log. To configure the agent, edit the file RaidAgnt.pps or adjust the General settings in the Adaptec Storage Manager agent GUI. RaidAgnt.pps is located in the same directory where you installed the Adaptec Storage Manager. If the RaidAgnt.pps file does not exist when you start the Adaptec Storage Manager agent, a new file is created with the default settings.

Notes:
  1. The RaidAgnt.pps file is preserved during a Adaptec Storage Manager upgrade.

  2. If you change settings while the Adaptec Storage Manager agent is running, you must stop and restart the agent to make the changes take effect.

Configuring the port number

The default port number for the Adaptec Storage Manager agent and GUI (client) is 34571. To change the port number, edit the following line in the file RaidAgnt.pps:

agent.startupPortNum=34571

For accessing managed systems, the Adaptec Storage Manager uses five consecutive ports starting from the startup port: 34571, 34572, 34573, 34574, and 34575. If your network has a conflict with these ports, change the startup port to a different port number.

Configuring the alarm

When the Adaptec Storage Manager agent is started, it reads the alarm settings. When a critical or fatal event occurs in the RAID subsystem, the Adaptec Storage Manager agent triggers its alarm, if enabled. The alarm continues at the specified interval until you either:

You can configure the following alarm settings:

Configuring event logging

The Adaptec Storage Manager agent logs warning and fatal events to the operating system event log. You can view the event log from the Adaptec Storage Manager GUI. For Windows systems, you can also view the event log with the Windows Event Viewer. For Unix systems, events are logged according to the /etc/syslog.conf settings. (For more information, see the syslogd(8) man page.)

You can enable and disable event logging by editing the following line in the file RaidAgnt.pps. Set the value to true to enable event logging (the default) or false to disable event logging.

agent.enable.logEventsWithOS = true
