5.3.4 Creating a test event action plan in IBM Director
Once you have configured the Remote Supervisor Adapter to communicate with
IBM Director, we recommend that you test the functionality to ensure proper
communication.
For more information on alerts and event management in IBM Director, see the
IBM Redbook Implementing Systems Management Solutions using IBM Director,
SG24-6188.
To verify the functionality of the Remote Supervisor Adapter in the x455, perform
the following steps:
1. Launch the IBM Director Console, either directly from the IBM Director Server
system or from a workstation with the IBM Director Console installed.
2. Click the Event Action Plan Builder icon located in the IBM Director
Console.
3. The Event Action Plan Builder window will appear. Right-click Event Action
Plan in the left-hand pane and select New to create a new plan.
4. Provide a descriptive name for your plan and click OK. For our testing, we
entered
RSA Test
.

5. Once you click OK, your new event action plan will appear in the left-hand
pane under Event Action Plans.
6. In the middle pane, click the blue bullet next to Simple Event Filter. A menu
tree will drop down showing all pre-defined event filters created during
installation of IBM Director. Click and drag All Events to the event action plan
you just created. This will add the filter to the action plan. The All Events filter
will cause any event generated by the system to be reported to IBM Director,
and is good for testing. For production, you may wish to limit the events sent
to IBM Director.
