The Adaptec Storage Manager Agent’s default settings are suitable for most storage spaces. However, you can customize the Agent to suit the requirements of your local and remote systems. Any changes you make to the Agent settings affect the selected system only and are not applied to all systems in your storage space.
To Broadcast Event Alerts on a System:
You can set the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent to send event alerts about a specific system to all users who are logged into your storage space network. You might want to do this if your storage space is not managed by a dedicated person, or if that particular system is off-site or is not connected to a monitor.
Event alerts signal to everyone working on the storage space that technical assistance is required for that system.
For more information, see Broadcasting Event Alerts to Users.
To Change a System's Event Log Settings:
By default, all Warning- and Error-level events on a system are recorded in the operating system event log. You can customize the level of events that are recorded, or you can disable operating system event logging.
To change or disable operating system event logging on a system:
In the Enterprise View, select the system.
On the tool bar, click the Configure button, then click General Settings.
The Adaptec Storage Manager Agent General Settings window opens for the system you selected.
In the Save events in OS log drop-down menu, select the type of event logging that you want, then click Save changes.
Restart Adaptec Storage Manager to apply the new setting.
To Change a System's Audible Alarm Settings:
Warning- and Error-level events on a system trigger an audible alarm, a series of beeps which sound every five minutes until the event is resolved. You can change the frequency and duration of the alarm, or choose to disable the alarm on any system.
To change alarm settings on a system:
In the Enterprise View, select the system.
On the tool bar, click the Configure button, then click General Settings.
The Adaptec Storage Manager Agent General Settings window opens for the system you selected.
Edit the alarm settings as required. (Select or deselect Sound alarm; change the alarm interval time.)
Caution! If you disable the alarm, no audible signal will sound on that system when a Warning- or Error-level event occurs.
Click Save changes.
Restart Adaptec Storage Manager to apply the new settings.
To Change the Agent's Base Port Number:
Adaptec Storage Manager uses six consecutive ports to access remote systems: 34571, 34572, 34573, 34574, 34575, and 34576. The default port number for the Agent is 34571. If your system has a conflict with these ports, change the base port to a different port number.
To change the Agent base port number:
In the Enterprise View, select the system.
On the tool bar, click the Configure button, then click General Settings.
The Adaptec Storage Manager Agent General Settings window opens for the system you selected. Enter a new Agent system base port number.
Click Save changes.
Restart Adaptec Storage Manager and the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent to apply the new setting.
