Users Guide

• View the current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to be performed in case the intrusion sensor or drive
bay returns a warning or failure value.
• View the current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for the intrusion sensor. The selected traps are
triggered if the system generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
Memory
Click the Memory object to manage your system's memory devices. Server Administrator monitors the memory device status for each
memory module present in the monitored system. Memory device pre-failure sensors monitor memory modules by counting the number of
ECC memory corrections. Server Administrator also monitors memory redundancy information if your system supports this feature. The
Memory object action window can have the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert
Management.
Properties
Subtab: Memory
Under the Properties tab, you can view the memory redundancy status, memory array attributes, total capacity of the memory arrays,
details of memory arrays, memory device details, and memory device status. The memory device details provide the details of a memory
device on a connector such as the status, device name, size, type, speed, rank, and failures. A rank is a row of dynamic random access
memory (DRAM) devices including 64 bits of data per Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) or Non-Volatile Dual Inline Memory Module
(NVDIMM). The possible values of rank are
single, dual, quad, octal, and hexa. The rank displays the rank of the DIMM and
helps in the easy service of DIMMs on the server.
NOTE: If a system with spare bank memory enabled enters a redundancy lost state, it may not be apparent which
memory module is the cause. If you cannot determine which DIMM to replace, see the switch to spare memory bank
detected log entry in the ESM system log to find which memory module failed.
Alert Management
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 configured 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 configured 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 configured, 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.
Properties
Subtab: Information
Under the Properties tab, you can view information about the physical NIC interfaces and also the team interfaces installed on your
system.
