Configuring the New Disk Devices
The USP V supports industry-standard products and functions that provide
host and/or application failover, I/O path failover, and logical volume
management (LVM). The USP V also supports the industry-standard simple
network management protocol (SNMP) for remote storage system
management from the UNIX/PC server host. SNMP is used to transport
management information between the USP V and the SNMP manager on the
host. The SNMP agent sends status information to the host(s) when requested
by the host or when a significant event occurs.
This chapter describes how failover and SNMP operations are supported on the
USP V storage system. The topics covered in this chapter are:
Host/Application Failover
SNMP Remote System Management
Note: The user is responsible for configuring the failover and SNMP
management software on the UNIX/PC server host. For assistance with failover
and/or SNMP configuration on the host, refer to the user documentation, or
contact the vendor’s technical support.
