The storage systems support SNMP for remote storage system management from the host servers. You must configure the SNMP software on the host before the new storage is attached.
SNMP sends notification of error conditions (SIMs) in real time, enabling you to monitor the storage system from the open-systems host. When a SIM occurs, the SNMP Agent initiates trap operations, which alert the SNMP Manager of the SIM condition. The SNMP Manager receives the SIM traps from the SNMP Agent and can request information from the SNMP Agent at any time.
For more details, see the SNMP Agent User Guide.
