Configuring the ServeRAID Manager agent
You can configure the ServeRAID Manager agent port number and alarm. To configure
the agent, edit the file RaidAgnt.pps. This file is located in the same directory
where you installed the ServeRAID Manager. If you change these settings while
the ServeRAID Manager agent is running, you must stop and restart the ServeRAID
Manager agent for the changes to take effect. If the RaidAgnt.pps file does
not exist when you start the ServeRAID Manager agent, a new file is created
with the default settings.
Notes:
-
- The RaidAgnt.pps file is preserved during a ServeRAID Manager upgrade.
- The ServeRAID Manager agent alarm is not supported by the ServeRAID
Manager in startable-CD mode.
- If you are using the ServeRAID Manager as an IBM Director Extension,
the RaidAgnt.pps file is located in the directory where IBM Director is
installed. You must stop and restart the IBM Director agent for any changes
to take effect.
Configuring the port number
The default port number is 34571. To change the port number, edit the following
line in the file RaidAgnt.pps:
agent.startupPortNum=34571
Configuring the alarm
When the ServeRAID Manager agent is started, it reads the alarm settings. When
a critical or fatal event occurs in the RAID subsystem, the ServeRAID Manager
agent triggers its alarm, if enabled. The alarm continues at the specified interval
until you either:
- Correct all the critical and fatal problems (if agent.auto.off.alarm is
set to true).
- Delete the file alarm.on. This file is located in the same directory where
you installed the ServeRAID Manager. When you delete this file, the alarm
stops until the next critical or fatal event occurs. The alarm.on file is
automatically created each time the alarm starts.
You can configure the following alarm settings:
- agent.enable.alarm
Specifies whether the agent alarm is enabled or disabled. Set this value to
true to enable the alarm or false to disable the alarm. The default value
is false.
- agent.interval.alarm
Specifies the interval (in seconds) between audible alarms. The default is
300 seconds (5 minutes).
- agent.auto.off.alarm
Specifies whether the alarm should turn off automatically when no more problems
are detected. Set this value to true to cause the alarm to turn off automatically,
or false to manually turn the alarm off. If you set this value to false, you
must delete the file alarm.on to turn off the alarm. The default is true.
