How to set up PFR 500/600 Series NetCentral monitoring
For PFR 500/600 Series RAID devices, the SNMP agent required for NetCentral
monitoring runs on the RAID Controller module. Communication with the
NetCentral monitor takes place over the RAID Controller Ethernet port. This means
that to monitor the RAID chassis, you must follow the cabling instructions and the
network configuration instructions for the PFR Series 500/600 RAID storage located
in the Installation Guide for your Profile XP model.
Once you’ve configured your PFR 500/600 Series RAID storage as directed, you can
add it to the list of monitored devices in the NetCentral device tree. If the redundant
RAID Controller option is installed, both can be added to NetCentral and used
independently to monitor the RAID storage.
Using the PFR 500/600 Series device provider interface
As with other devices in NetCentral, you’ll be able to check status of all PFR Series
sub-systems and receive any alarm or warning messages that occur.
NOTE: Refer to the Installation Guide for your Profile XP model to set up the RAID
chassis for NetCentral monitoring and for adding it to the NetCentral device list.
To monitor the PFR 500/600 Series RAID storage:
1. In the NetCentral left panel, select the RAID Controller from the list of monitored
devices.
