Subtabs: Alert Actions | SNMP Traps
Under the Alert Management tab, you can:
• View the current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to be performed in case a memory module returns a
warning or failure value.
• View the current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for memory modules. The selected traps are triggered if
the system generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
Network
Click the Network object to manage your system's NICs. Server Administrator monitors the status of each NIC present in your system to
ensure continuous remote connection. Server Administrator reports FCoE and iSoE capabilities of the NICs. Also, NIC teaming details are
reported if they are already congured on the system. Two or more physical NICs can be teamed into a single logical NIC, to which an
administrator can assign an IP address. Teaming can be congured using NIC vendor tools. For example, Broadcom — BACS. If one of the
physical NICs fails, the IP address remains accessible because it is bound to the logical NIC rather than to a single physical NIC. If Team
Interface is congured, the detailed team properties are displayed. The relation between physical NICs and Team Interface and vice-versa is
also reported, if these physical NICs are members of the Team Interface.
On Windows 2008 Hypervisor operating system, Server Administrator does not report the IP addresses of the physical NIC ports that are
used to assign an IP to a virtual machine.
NOTE: The order in which devices are detected is not guaranteed to match the physical port ordering of the device. Click the
hyperlink under Interface Name to view NIC information.
In ESXi operating system, the network device is considered a group. For example, the virtual ethernet interface that is used by the Service
Console (vswif) and virtual network interface that is used by vmknic device on ESXi.
NOTE
: The Server Administrator supports only inventory of physical network interfaces and its properties. Server Administrator
does not support inventory of logical interfaces like VLAN and Bonded.
The Network object action window can have the following tab, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties.
