The ASM interconnect bus transparently handles the transfer of all outgoing
alerts to Ethernet connections or modems on any of the service processors
connected together. In this way, for example, as long as one of the connected
service processors has an Ethernet connection or modem, then all alerts from
the Remote Supervisor Adapter in the x450 will be sent without any extra
configuration required.
Important: Sending alerts directly to IBM Director, while convenient, may
cause difficulties processing incoming events at the IBM Director Server. This
is because the events that are sent directly from the x450 Remote Supervisor
Adapter are reported as being sourced from the IBM Director Server itself,
instead of being sourced from the x450.
Once the Director Agent is available, alerts can be sent through it and event
processing will be easier.
To configure the Remote Supervisor Adapter to send alerts to IBM Director
Server via Ethernet, perform the following steps:
1. If you have not already done so, configure the Ethernet adapter settings on
the adapter. See 5.1.2, "Connecting via a Web browser" on page 119 for
details on how to complete this configuration.
2. Connect to the Remote Supervisor Adapter using a Web browser. From the
home page, click Alerts .
3. The upper portion of this Web page lists those recipients configured for
remote alerts. By default, this list is empty. Click on an empty link (labeled
~not used~) to configure a remote recipient.
4. To configure IBM Director as a remote recipient, you will need to enter the
following values. All fields not listed can be left in their default (blank) state:
Status
Name
Notification Method
Number
5. Click Save to save your configuration. You should see your recipient listed in
the list.
Tip: At time of writing, clicking the Generate Test Alert button did not properly
transmit an alert to IBM Director when the IBM Director over LAN method
was selected.
