Maintenance

Administration of all the Network Storage Agent instances can be done from one centralized web GUI. This interface is always accessed on port 7654 of the host configured with the Master Network Storage Agent.  All the agents communicate with one another through this same port to sync their configurations.

For these and all functions, additional information can be found in the Help section.

 
<<- Use the buttons on the left to go to the appropriate "Maintenance" function.

[Maintain Hosts] Used to enter customer information and to configure the selected hosts' instance of Rasagent to point to log files, device categories and execution frequency.
[Discovery] Can be used to automatically and/or manually find devices physically attached to the host system or are accessible on the ethernet network.
[Maintain Devices] Maintain information about specific devices (for both Masters and Slaves) that were manually or automatically discovered in a previous session and are configured to be monitored.  
[Email Notification] Optionally used to customize the generation of local only emails to the system admin or to other administrators and/or service personnel.  Local notification does not affect the main transmission functions of the Network Storage Agent.
[Providers] This selection determines the means by which the rasagent will relay events generated by the Health Monitors.
[Push Configs] Has the same function as the Push Slave Configs in Maintain Hosts. Basically this will sync all slaves with the current configuration. There is no confirmation.
[Start/Stop Agent] Can be used to temporarily stop rasagent from executing for a selected host.   In cases where maintenance is being done on a device, this function will aid in preventing false error Alert events.
[Start/Stop Devices] Allows for deactivating notifications on a device-by-device basis.
[Test Email] Generate a canned email message to an email address(es) entered in the field supplied in the window. Multiple addresses can be entered delimitted by either a comma or a space.
[Review Config] will execute a query on the configuration and report the results and make available pointers to areas that require review.
