2. Scroll to the Monitored Alerts section. There are three types of events listed,
as follows:
– Critical Alerts (these are hard disk drive, multiple fan failure, power failure,
tamper, temperature, voltage, and VRM failure)
– Warning Alerts (these are single fan failure, temperature, voltage, and
redundant power supply)
– System Alerts (these are boot failure, loader timeout, O/S timeout, PFA,
POST timeout, power off, and power on)
3. Select the events you wish to monitor. We recommend you enable all events.
4. Click Save .
Tip: Below the Monitored Alerts section is the Monitored Local Alerts section.
These options are applicable only when the IBM Director Agent is installed on
the x450. When the agent is installed and those options are selected, the
events are sent to IBM Director agent and appear as sourced from the x450.
5.2.2 Configuring SNMP
The Remote Supervisor Adapter supports the sending of alerts to IBM Director
using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Before alerts can be sent, you need to configure the adapter for SNMP so that
IBM Director Server can discover and manage it.
Note: We assume you have already set up a system running IBM Director
Server. If you need help in configuring IBM Director, please see the
documentation that comes with IBM Director or the redbook Implementing
Systems Management Solutions using IBM Director , SG24-6188.
Configure SNMP as follows:
1. If you have not already done so, configure the adapter so that it can be
accessed from a Web browser, either through a direct Ethernet connection or
via an ASM interconnect. See 5.1.2, "Connecting via a Web browser" on
page 119 or 5.1.4, "Connecting via the ASM interconnect" on page 124.
2. Connect to the adapter using the Web browser. From the home page, click
Network Protocols .
3. In the SNMP section (see Figure 5-5 on page 128), enter the following
information:
SNMP agent
Enabled (Default is Disabled)
