Sun StorEdge N8400 Filer Installation, Configuration, and Service Guide • August 2001

Configuration and Monitoring Options

Configuration of some of the filer’s features require specific knowledge of the
environment in which it will be operating. As such, various configuration steps must
be completed to enable these features.

There are two primary configuration options for setting up the filer on the network.
You can increase the sensitivity of the system to detecting component failures and
upgrade the backup client support. This section contains the following topics:

■

“Monitoring the Sun Enterprise 420R Server” on page 26

■

“Configuring the System to Monitor the Arrays” on page 26

■

“Backup Client Support” on page 29

■

“To Enable the Sun Solstice Backup Software” on page 29

■

“To Install the VERITAS NetBackup Software” on page 29

Monitoring the Sun Enterprise 420R Server

Monitoring the Sun Enterprise 420R Server requires system-specific agents that are
not part of the filer package. These agents are available as part of:

■

Sun Domain Manager (formerly known as SunNet Manager™)

■

Sun Management Center (formerly known as SyMon)

Configuring the System to Monitor the Arrays

You can monitor the arrays remotely by using any of the following tools that are
supplied with the filer:

■

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notification

■

Syslog error reporting

■

Array command-line interface (CLI) via a telnet session

Note –

Do not confuse the array CLI with the filer CLI. The filer CLI is used to

access a simplified set of commands to manage the system.

You can also monitor the arrays remotely by using any of the following tools.
Contact your local Sun sales representative for implementation support.

Sun Management Center (SunMC)
