5-6 Functions of NEC Storage Manager
For details, refer to “State Monitoring” in Chapter 3 of Section A in the “NEC
Storage Manager User’s Manual”.
Nickname Setting
The nickname setting function is used via the iSM client to set the disk array
name, LD name (+ OS type), and port name for the disk array to be managed.
The disk array can be managed efficiently by matching the set information to
the identification information provided by the business server that operates the
disk array.
For details, refer to “Nickname Setting” in Chapter 3 of Section A in the “NEC
Storage Manager User’s Manual”.
Fault Monitoring
While iSM clients are connected, all iSM messages are output to the message
display area of the iSM client screen, which enables each iSM client to monitor
disk array errors. A display message is collected as a log file, and the
occurrence of the error is reported to the iSM clients matching the message
level in real time.
For details, refer to “Fault Monitoring” in Chapter 3 of Section A in the “NEC
Storage Manager User’s Manual”.
Log Output
The log output function outputs messages, which indicate iSM error
information and operation information, to various logs (operation log and
syslog under UNIX, and operation log and event log under Windows). For
details, refer to “Log Output” in Chapter 3 of Section A in the “NEC Storage
Manager User’s Manual”.
Event Link
The event link function takes action such as sending mail and starting a file (a
shell file under UNIX, and an executable file or batch file on the monitoring
server under Windows) according to the message contents. You can define link
processing for each message level and specify the mail destination, the mail
contents, and the file to be started. For details, refer to “Event Link” in Chapter
3 of Section A in the “NEC Storage Manager User’s Manual”.
