occurred, in which part of the storage subsystem the error occurred, and the action to take for the
error.
By using Device Manager, you can detect alerts output on storage subsystems in the following
methods:
Periodically monitor whether an alert has occurred on the management target storage
subsystem (default).
Receive SNMP traps output in storage subsystems (option).
SNMP traps are useful for determining the cause of an error because they include not only the
part in which an error occurred but also the location where an error occurred. You can also
record the received SNMP traps in log files and notify users of the SNMP traps by email.
SNMP traps contain information shown in
Table 6-8:

The following sections describe the settings required to centrally manage storage subsystem alerts
by using Device Manager.
NOTE: For details about how to notify users of output alerts by email, see section
6-4 .
6-3-1 Settings for receiving SNMP traps
To use Device Manager to receive SNMP traps that were output on storage subsystems, you need
to specify the following settings:
In the XP SNMP Agent settings of the storage subsystem, register the IP address of the Device
Manager server in the trap notification target machines.
Specify true for the server.dispatcher.daemon.receiveTrap property of the Device
Manager server.
6-3-2 Settings for recording the received SNMP traps in log
files
By recording the received SNMP traps in the Device Manager log files, you can use integrated
management software to centrally monitor the operating status of all the network resources
including storage resources managed by Device Manager.
To record the received SNMP traps in log files, you need to specify the following settings:
Specify true for the customizedsnmptrap.customizedSNMPTrapEnable property of the
Device Manager server.
Specify the data to be output to log files in the customizedsnmptrap.customizelist
property of the Device Manager server.
