Removing a remote system

Removing a remote system does not take a remote system offline, but only removes it from the ServeRAID Manager Main Tree. You cannot use this action when using the ServeRAID Manager as a plug-in application.

  1. Select Remove remote system from the Remote menu.
  2. Select the remote system you want to remove. You can select one remote system to remove at a time. The Remove remote system window opens.
  3. If you want to continue receiving events, select the check box to continue receiving events from the remote system after having removed it. See below for additional information.
  4. Click OK.

Receiving events from a removed system

When a remote system is in the Main Tree, you always receive events that occur on that remote system. By using this action to remove the system from the Main Tree, you can choose between "Continue to receive events from remote system" or "Do not continue to receive events from remote system." If you choose the first option, you can monitor for problems on remote systems without having the system in your Main Tree.

The default is to continue receiving events.

If you choose not to continue receiving events, the ServeRAID Manager on your local system must connect to the remote system. If the Manager successfully connects, it removes your local system from the remote system notification list. Because the notification list determines what systems receive events from that remote system, your local system stops receiving events.

If the Manager cannot connect to the remote system and is therefore unable to remove your system from the notification list, another window opens asking if you want to remove the system from the Main Tree even though you will continue receiving events.
