Fault Detection; Local Monitoring - Sun Microsystems StorEdge 3900 Series Reference And Service Manual

6.2

Fault Detection

The Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software running on the Storage
Service Processor collects and evaluates information about devices out-of-band to all
storage devices in the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series cabinet.
One way in which the Storage Service Processor can have access to the in-band
diagnostic information is to have the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment
software running on the customer host that relays information to the Storage Service
Processor so that it can send the information to Sun service for monitoring purposes.
6.2.1

Local Monitoring

The Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software can be configured to send
alerts and events to a mail(1) address or even to a pager address.
Customers who are not interested in remote monitoring or concerned about security
may choose to enable local monitoring of the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 series
products only. In this case, the customer has two choices:
Allow the Storage Service Processor to be connected to their management LAN
and have access to one or more of their host servers.
Provide a standalone workstation to be connected to the Storage Service Processor
as a dedicated resource that will be staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you already have a license for Sun Remote Services Net Connect service (SRS), you
can choose that method to pass alerts and event status messages to Sun. In that
situation, the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software is configured as
a slave on the Storage Service Processor. The master system running Storage
Automated Diagnostic Environment software is located on the host where SRS is
running. The slave sends all of its alert and event traffic over the customer's
management LAN to the SRS host server for shipment to Sun. The master system
running the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software is optionally
configured to send email or pager messages locally.
If the customer uses the management LAN connection without host SRS support, the
Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software can be set up to send email or
pager message notification when an alert or event occurs. To use this service, the
customer must allow access to a host server containing email or pager message
service. The Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software on the Storage
Service Processor is then configured as a slave and sends all of its alert and event
traffic to the master system running the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment
software on the customer's host server. The master system is responsible for
forwarding the traffic through the specified medium.
