Installation Guide

♦PCI hot plug
Select the server for the watch with NEC ESMPRO Manager again and renew the [Information of server
state/constitution] tree when you dynamically change the composition of a server concerned with PCI hot plug when
server information is being referred by [Information of server state/constitution] of NEC ESMPRO Manager.
When the [Information of server state/constitution] tree is not renewed, it might be different from information on present
HW because the configuration change of HW with PCI hot plug is not reflected.
Moreover, it can be confirmed that the composition of the device that installs NEC ESMPRO Agent was changed
because the device of NEC ESMPRO Manager has registered in the trap destination of NEC ESMPRO Agent, and the
trap concerning "State of Slot" is transmitted to the manager according to the timing of the configuration change on the
NEC ESMPRO Manager.
♦Monitoring under Sleep Mode
When NEC ESMPRO Agent is in sleep mode (system standby or system hibernation), NEC ESMPRO Agent in sleep
mode cannot be monitored from NEC ESMPRO Manager.
When server failure monitoring is performed from NEC ESMPRO Manager and the applicable NEC ESMPRO Agent is
put into sleep mode, the "No response from the server." message is reported, the status of the server icon turns
"Unknown", and NEC ESMPRO Manager fails to judge whether NEC ESMPRO Agent fails or is put into sleep mode.
Keep this in mind if you operate the monitoring target system with the setting that allows the system to enter sleep
mode.
♦When Performing Duplex System Management
To perform duplex system management, install NEC ESMPRO Agent on a local disk on both the operating and standby
servers. The installation procedure for NEC ESMPRO Agent is same as a normal installation, except that it should be
installed on two servers.
♦Restart after HW trouble occurs
When abnormality of HW is detected, OS is shutdown.
When the morrow is started, it is likely to shutdown when OS is restart without action/recovering trouble after it
shutdown. Restart OS after action/recovering trouble.
♦Shutdown monitoring
When performing shutdown monitoring, all shutdown processes are to be monitored. If there is an application that
performs shutdown without rebooting OS or turning off the power, set the timeout value longer or disable the monitoring
function.
