Users Guide
By default, Storage Management installs SNMP trap forwarding support. For this support to function, you should install SNMP on the managed system prior to
installing Storage Management.
SNMP Trap Forwarding
The alerts displayed in the Storage Management alert log are forwarded to the operating system event log. If you have SNMP installed on the managed
system (and the SNMP service is running), the Storage Management alerts in the operating system event log will be forwarded as SNMP traps. In order for
these traps to be viewable, however, a target system or application must be configured to receive these traps. SNMP traps that are generated by Storage
Management can be viewed in any standard SNMP-compatible enterprise management console.
The SNMP service must be configured to forward the SNMP traps to the target system or application. When forwarding to an application, the application should
also be configured to receive the SNMP traps. The Dell OpenManage IT Assistant application is already configured to receive the SNMP traps generated by
Storage Management.
Refer to your operating system documentation for information on configuring the operating system to forward SNMP traps. This information may be located
under such topics as "setting up SNMP" or "SNMP traps." When configuring SNMP, be sure that the SNMP traps are forwarded to the correct server. For
information on configuring an application to receive SNMP traps, refer to the documentation for that application.
SNMP Trap Definitions
The Storage Management management information base (MIB) defines the SNMP traps that Storage Management generates. These traps correspond to the
alerts documented in "Alert Descriptions and Corrective Actions." The MIB is located in a subdirectory of the Storage Management installation directory. The
subdirectory location for the MIB is ..\sm\mibs\dcstorag.mib.
Viewing SNMP Traps
SNMP traps that are generated by Storage Management can be viewed in any standard SNMP-compatible enterprise management console. These traps are
defined in the Storage Management MIB. These traps correspond to the alerts documented in "Alert Descriptions and Corrective Actions." For more information

For more information on configuring SNMP, see "SNMP Support for Storage Management Alerts."
Alert Descriptions and Corrective Actions
The following sections describe alerts generated by the RAID or SCSI controllers supported by Storage Management. The alerts are displayed in the Server
Administrator Alert subtab or through Windows Event Viewer. These alerts can also be forwarded as SNMP traps to other applications.
SNMP traps are generated for the alerts listed in the following sections. These traps are included in the Storage Management management information base
(MIB). For more information on SNMP support and the MIB, see "SNMP Support for Storage Management Alerts."
To locate an alert, scroll through the following sections to find the alert number displayed on the Server Administrator Alert tab or search this document for the
alert message text or number.

NOTE: For more information on installation requirements and SNMP, refer to the Server Administrator documentation.
NOTE: Storage Management supports trap forwarding on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
