Monitoring Overview

As an administrator, you have several options for monitoring the system. When you are at the same site as the system, you can review the events on the Sun Web console, which receives them from a provider, such as Sun StorEdge Enterprise Storage Manager. When you are at a different site from the system, you can still monitor the system as follows:

Events and alerts are related to each other and to alarms:

The monitoring software records alerts and notifications. You can monitor events and alerts by displaying the log file. You can also set up event notification so that notifications of actionable events are sent to your email address or pager.

When you receive an alert or a notification, use the following procedure to investigate the problem:

  1. Go to the Sun Web Console page and click Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment.
  2. Click Service > Service Advisor.

The Service Advisor page provides information about the probable cause and suggests the appropriate actions.

You can monitor the system through LEDs, log files, and error messages.
