Setup Components 123
Device Setup Event An alarm will be generated in HP OpenView for each device that 3Com
Network Administrator attempts to configure as part of the Device Setup
operation. The alarm source is the IP address of the device and both the
alarm severity and the alarm message indicate whether the attempt to
apply the source software configuration to the device was successful. The
detail of the alarm message for a successfully configured device identifies
the source device or backup that provided the software configuration. For
devices that could not be configured, the detail of the alarm message
describes what went wrong.
If you choose to cancel a Device Setup operation before it is complete, no
alarms will be generated for target devices that are still pending or in
progress at that time.
Setup Summary
Report
When the Device Setup operation completes, the Setup Summary report
is automatically generated. You can choose whether to view the report or
not from the Device Setup Summary dialog that is shown at the end of
the operation.
The Setup Summary report covers the following:
■ The details of the source device or backup that provided the software
configuration.
■ The devices that were successfully configured by the Device Setup
operation.
■ The devices that could not be configured by the Device Setup
operation. 3Com Network Administrator reports a reason for each
failure.
You can view the Setup Summary report at any time after the operation
has completed from the History tab of the Reports dialog, launched from
Tools > Reports.
