To enable or disable forwarding of sensor events:
1. In a Units View window (see Accessing Units View windows on page 88), click on the name of
a DSI5100 appliance. The Unit Overview window will open.
2. Click Appliance Settings in the side navigation bar, and then click BMCs. The Appliance BMC
Ports window will open.
3. Click on the name of a BMC port. The BMC Identity window will open.
4. Click Alert Forwarding in the side navigation bar. The Alert Forwarding Configuration
window will open. The display indicates the current settings in the BMC.
5. To disable alert forwarding for all sensors, enable the Disable Alert Forwarding for all sensors
radio button. Go to step 7.
6. To enable alert forwarding for one or more sensors:
a. Enable the Enable Alert Forwarding for the following selected sensor types radio button.
b. Click the checkbox next to the sensor types to be forwarded. To select all sensor types,
click the checkbox next to Sensor Type at the top of the list.
c. The Force Configuration Changes checkbox indicates whether the enable/disable
operation may overwrite existing entries in the BMC. By default, this feature is disabled -
the operation is non-destructive. However, if the BMC does not have sufficient internal
entries to handle the enable/disable configuration when you try to save it, the DSView 3
software will highlight this checkbox. Clicking Force Configuration Changes will cause
the enable/disable action to occur, even if existing entries in the BMC are disrupted.
7. Click Save and then click Close.
