The broadcaster collects events from the controller and records
them to files in the
c:\program files\adaptec\storage manager folder for
use by Storage Manager. Additionally, events are sent to the
Windows Event Viewer or e-mailed as specified in the Event
Broadcasting window.
Installing the Broadcaster
During installation, the broadcaster is copied to the c:\program
files\storage manager
folder by default as a Windows service and
runs automatically whenever the system is started. This allows
events to be gathered and recorded without user intervention.
Stopping and Restarting the Broadcaster
The broadcaster is a Windows service; therefore, it must be
managed from one of the Windows service management
applications.
■ The broadcaster can be controlled using the Services Control
Panel. To access a service, click Services in the Control Panel
folder.
■ Highlight Storage Manager Broadcaster in the Services list.
Then, click Start or Stop to start or stop the broadcaster service.
■ The broadcaster can also be started or stopped from a command
line prompt by using the NET command as follows:
Viewing Events
Events can be viewed either through the Event Log Display
window in Storage Manager (refer to Event Log on page 3-32) or the
Windows Event Viewer.
To run the Event Viewer, select Event Viewer from the
Administrative Tools group on the Start menu. The Event Viewer
enables you to view events that have been placed in the System,
Security, and Application logs. To view controller events, click Log
> Application.
