Supported Devices The Management Appliance can decode SNMP trap
information for some devices and as a result can provide a detailed description of
what happened. Such devices are called supported devices. Supported devices
have a detailed definition for each event type that the device can generate. See the
Storage Management Appliance Software V2.0 Event Code Definitions
Application Notes for a complete list of supported devices and the event code
definitions available for each device type. This document is available at the
following website.

The following device types are currently supported with event code definitions:
■ HP StorageWorks SAN and Brocade Switches
■ HP StorageWorks and McData Switches
■ NetApp Filers (Network Attached Storage - NAS - devices)
Unsupported Devices Discovered devices generating SNMP traps that cannot be
decoded (have no event code definitions) are called unsupported devices and
these include the following:
■ Host computers
■ Network Attached Storage (NAS) elements with the exception of NetApp
Filer devices
■ Hubs
■ Modular Data Routers (MDR)
Only the following information is available for an SNMP trap received from an
unsupported device.
■ Source IP address
■ Trap OID (MIB identifier)
■ Generic trap type
■ Specific trap type
When the Management Appliance receives an unsupported trap, that application
generates a new “unsupported trap received” event (event code 880A02BC;
severity - Information) that includes the basic trap information plus the date and
time. A Management Appliance user can then elect to receive notification of this
Management Appliance event type.
