An agent can send information to the manager without being explicitly polled for. This operation is termed a trap in SNMPv1 or a notification in SNMPv2C. Traps or notifications would alert the manager to events that occur on the agent system, such as reboot.

Page 74: Syslog Daemon
3-38 StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Switch User's Guide syslog Daemon A UNIX style syslog daemon (syslogd) process has been added. Syslogd reads system events and forwards system messages to users and/or writes the events to log files according to your system configuration. Introduction Syslogd reads system events and forwards system messages to users and/or stores them in log files according to your system configuration.
Page 75: Syslogd Support
Managing the Switch 3-39 An example entry in a syslogd log file is: Jul 18 12:48:00 sendmail[9558]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(uucp): /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 0: cannot open: No such file or directory The first two items are the event’s date/time (as known by the machine where syslogd is running) and the machine name that issued the error.
Page 76: Error Message Format
3-40 StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Switch User's Guide Error Message Format Each error message logged sends the following information: Error number (1 for the first error after boot, increments by one with each new error). The error message, exactly as it is stored in the error log (and printed via the command errShow).
Page 77: Message Classification
Managing the Switch 3-41 Example: syslogd running on Switch sw9 is sending log events to the UNIX machine called example. The following is an example of a No memory error generated by the shell. This is a severity 1 (LOG_CRITICAL) error. syslogd is configured to store the errors in: /var/adm/silkworm file.
Page 78: Switch Configuration
3-42 StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Switch User's Guide Switch configuration To start the syslogd type the following command: syslogdIp <IP address of the syslogd machine> The command with no parameter prints the IP address of the current target syslogd machine. An IP address of 0.0.0.0 disables the forwarding of error messages to syslogd.
Page 79 Managing the Switch 3-43 The local7 prefix identifies the message from a Switch. Note that usually a file must exist and have the proper permission in order for the syslogd to write to it.

Page 113: Zoning
Chapter Zoning Zoning Overview This chapter discusses general information about managing and monitoring the Switch using Zoning, as follows Zoning Components Zone Management Zone Enforcement Multi Switch Fabrics. Zoning is used to setup barriers between different operating environments, to deploy logical Fabric subsets by creating defined user groups, or to create test and/or maintenance areas that are separate within the Fabric.
Page 114: Increased San Control
6-2 StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Switch User's Guide Figure 6-1. Fabric with Three Zones The benefits of Zoning include: Increased environmental security where and when needed Optimization of Information Technology (IT) resources in response to user demand and changing user profiles Versatility to customize environments as and when needed.
Page 115: The Simplicity Of Zoning
Zoning 6-3 Zone members see only members in their zones and, therefore, access only one another. A device not included in a zone is not available to the zone devices. The Simplicity of Zoning Zoning involves: Zone Specification – Telnet commands are used to create, delete, and display zones, to add or remove zone members, and to configure zone sets.
Page 116: Questions And Answers About Zoning
6-4 StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Switch User's Guide Automatic, transparent distribution throughout the Fabric, a single failure cannot interrupt Zoning Enforcement to other SAN connections Automatic service scaling with Fabric size, no requirement to upgrade systems as Switches are added and connectivity increases Automatic, transparent deployment, no requirement for human intervention unless Zoning Specification must change.

Page 119 Zoning 6-7 Zone definitions are persistent. That is the definition remains in effect across reboots and power cycles until it is deleted or changed. A device may be a member of multiple zones. Zone Members Zone members may be specified using one of the following notations: Node World Wide Name Port World Wide Name Physical Fabric port number.
Page 120 6-8 StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Switch User's Guide Names. For example, the name “host” could be used as an alias for 10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a. Zone Configurations A zone configuration is a set of zones. At any one time, zoning may be disabled or one zone configuration may be in effect. When a zone configuration is in effect, all zones that are members of that configuration are in effect.

In addition to the zones themselves, zoning is comprised of: zone members, zone aliases, and zone configurations.
Page 122: Zone Enforcement

Within a zone the device sets may access one another. All Fabric connected devices can be configured into one or more zones.

Zoning 6-13 Multi-Switch Fabrics There are two databases used by Zoning: The zone configuration data The N_Port login data. Zone Configuration Data This data is shown as the defined configuration by the cfgShow command, and is stored in flash by the cfgSave command. This data is a replicated database, all Fabric Switches have a complete copy.
Page 126 6-14 StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Switch User's Guide Adding a New Fabric Adding a new Fabric (a Fabric where there is no zone configuration information) to an existing Zoned Fabric is similar to adding a new Switch. All Switches in the new Fabric inherit the zone configuration data. If a zone configuration is enabled, then the same configuration becomes enabled in the new Switches.
