Sun StorEdge Component Manager

The Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ array array can be used with management software,
such as Sun StorEdge Component Manager, to aid in its operation. Sun StorEdge
Component Manager provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to monitor and
manage one or more Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ arrays that are connected to a host.
Sun StorEdge Component Manager software enables the administration of some of
the components of the array and constantly monitors system health. Alarm
notification and remote reporting alert the system administrator of abnormal
activities or conditions that require attention.
The Sun StorEdge Component Manager Installation Guide provides instructions for
installing the software, and also covers the necessary steps to verify the installation,
launch the software, and uninstall the software. The Sun StorEdge Component
Manager User's Guide describes how to use the GUI to administer Sun StorEdge T3
and T3+ arrays.
The Sun StorEdge Component Manager software communicates with the array via
an Ethernet connection. It must be installed, configured, and initialized on the
management host. The management host does not have to be the application host
directly connected to the array.
The software recognizes the unit through the Ethernet address and monitors it
through a polling routine. The Sun StorEdge Component Manager GUI displays
information on the unit, including the suspected problem area. The software can be
configured to route error messages to a log file, generate an email, or page an on-call
person. The log file contains information that can be used to determine the fault and
what caused the message to be sent.
For more information about using the Component Manager, see the Sun StorEdge
Component Manager User's Guide.

Sun StorEdge StorTools Software

Errors in the host data channel are outside of the scope of the Sun StorEdge T3 and
T3+ array. To determine failures in the data path, use host-based application
diagnostics, such as the Sun StorEdge StorTools™ product for the Solaris operating
environment.
