26 Note
Affect on Disk administration
6.
When NEC ESMPRO Agent is running on the system, it's not possible to do the following
operations.
Format or remove a partition by NT Disk Administrator.
Eject the removable media like MO, Zip, PD or DVD-RAM by means of software.
In such a case, please take the following steps:
– Stop ESMCommonService from the 'Service' dialog in the Control Panel.
– Format or remove the partition with an appropriate tool such as 'format' command or
eject the media.
– Start ESMCommonService from the 'Service' dialog in the Control Panel.
Coexistence with SQL Server
7.
CPU utilization rate of NEC ESMPRO Agent may rise relatively higher on a system
where Microsoft SQL Server6.5 runs with the SQL option, 'SQL perfmon integration',
checked. It's strongly recommended that you do not check the option unless you have a
special purpose to monitor the SQL performance.
On using NEC ESMPRO Agent on RackMount type
8.
Please set RackMount Name when you use NEC ESMPRO Agent on RackMount type
chassis. Otherwise, the Operation Window will not create a RackMount map by
autodiscovering.
Hard disk exchange
9.
If other systems use Hard disks used by the system by which NEC ESMPRO Agent
Ver4.0 or later is installed, "Hard disk Pre-failure Prediction" function may not work
correctly. Please do not connect such Hard disks to other systems.
Changing setting of storage monitoring
10.
The following setting will not take effect until one (old) monitoring interval cycle of each
monitoring service passes after changes are made to setting.
– sampling interval (Polling Frequency tab of storage setting)
– reset (Reset tab of storage setting and Reset button on Hard Disk General view in Data
Viewer)
– hard disk pre-failure prediction mode (HD Pre-failure tab of storage setting)
– thresholds of free block monitoring (Free Space tab of storage setting and threshold
button on File System General view in Data Viewer)
Changing mode of hard disk pre-failure prediction
11.
Turning on/off the mode of hard disk pre-failure prediction, all hard disks work in the
same mode in either case. You can not set the mode of each hard disk individually.
