Monitoring Failover Pairs
There are three ways to monitor the status of the Failover Pairs:
■
SNMP Manager—when failover occurs SNMP traps are sent to
network management stations and error logs are updated through the
operating system event log. In order to manage SNMP agents,
compile the following MIB file on the SNMP management station:
a:\snmpmibs\duralink.mib
■
Event Viewer Dialog Box—the local Event Viewer dialog box will
log port failures in Windows NT.
■
Duralink64 Failover window —the Status tab monitors the traffic and
health of the failover pairs.
Note on DuraLAN NIC Ports
When you are installing Adaptec DuraLAN NICs, it’s a good idea to
document where each port physically resides in the server,
especially when two or more identical NICs exist. This is important
because ports are identified by generic port names, such as Adptsf1,
Adptsf2, Adptsf3, etc.
Port names are assigned to ports in the order that the system scans
these ports at boot time. Consequently, whenever you physically
rearrange the network cards, the port names change as well.
