Install CLARalert
CLARalert® software monitors your storage system’s operation for error events and
automatically notifies your service provider of any error events by email.
CLARalert software requires:
•
A monitor station, which is a host running a supported Windows operating
system. The monitor station cannot be a server (host connected to storage-system
data ports), and it must be on the same network as your storage-system
management ports.
•
If you do not have an existing monitor station -
You can create a monitor station by
installing CLARalert software on a Windows host.
If you have an existing monitor station running CLARalert software
- You can
upgrade the CLARalert software on the monitor station.
If you have an existing monitor station running Event Monitor
- You can install
CLARalert software on the monitor station.
To install or update CLARalert remote services
1. From the Windows host that is or will be the monitor station:
a. Log in to Powerlink and navigate to the CLARiiON Tools page.
b. In the install section of this page, click the CLARalert link and run the
CLARalert installation wizard.
If your Powerlink view does not contain a CLARiiON tools page or a
CLARalert link on this page, your service provider can install the CLARalert
software.

CLARalert Worksheet in the guide for planning your storage-system
configuration. You can generate the worksheet from the plan section of the
user-customized documentation page for CX3-series storage systems on the
Powerlink site, or view it on the Documentation and Resources for CX3-Series Storage
Systems CD.
