Dell EqualLogic Storage Management Pack Suite Operations 21
Monitoring
With the EqualLogic Management Pack you can work with the following
views:
• Alerts view
• Diagram view
• State view
Alerts View
The EqualLogic Device Alerts in the Alerts view displays the Dell
EqualLogic hardware SNMP alerts for the events received from the
EqualLogic PS Series arrays that you are monitoring.
Traps are sent from any NIC in the devices. SCOM does not provide the
capability of correlating alerts from multiple IP addresses of a member under
an EqualLogic member. Hence, each NIC is associated with the traps that are
sent from the corresponding IP address. A custom field 1, which is a
combination of Equal logic array name and Equal Logic Group name are
added for each alert. You can sort the alerts based on this custom field 1 to see
the alerts that belong to a particular EQL member, in the EqualLogic Alerts
view
To view the alerts for the systems you are monitoring:
1
In the Operations Console, click Monitoring .
2 In the Monitoring pane, navigate to the Dell folder.
3 Click Alerts View → EqualLogic Device Alerts .
The Operations Console displays the alerts for all the arrays that you are
monitoring in the
EqualLogic Device Alerts pane. These alerts meet the
criteria you specified in the
Authoring pane, such as severity, resolution
state, age, or alerts that are assigned to you.
4 Select an alert to view its details in the Alert Details pane.
