Working with systems in the Notification Manager

You can use the following features in the Notification Manager:

You cannot use these actions when using the ServeRAID Manager as a plug-in application.


Adding a system Adding a system

Use this action to add a new system to the notification list. Every new system you add to the list is notified of all events that occur on this system.

  1. Click Add system.
  2. Type the host name or TCP/IP address of the system you want to add.
  3. Type the TCP/IP port for the remote system Startup port number. The default port is 34571. If you change the system Startup port number in User preferences on the remote system, type that number here.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Continue to add systems, or click Cancel to close the window.

After you add the system to the notification list, the ServeRAID Manager will attempt to connect to the remote system and send an initial set of events. The Manager uses these events to update the ServeRAID Manager interface running on the remote system.


Delete systemDeleting a system

Use this action to delete a remote system from the notification list.

  1. Click the system you want to delete from the notification list.
  2. Click Delete system.
  3. Click Yes to confirm. The ServeRAID Manager deletes the system from the notification list.

After deleting the remote system, the Manager no longer notifies the remote system of events occurring on the local system.


Modify systemModifying a system

Use this action to modify a remote system host name, TCP/IP address, or port number.

  1. Click the system you want to modify from the notification list.
  2. Click Modify system. The Host properties window opens.
  3. Change the host properties in the appropriate entry fields.
  4. Click OK.

Sending a test event

Use this action to send a test event to a remote system.

  1. Click the system you want from the notification list to which you want to send a test event.
    Note: If you click no system or more than one system, this action is disabled.
  2. Click Actions --> Send test event. A window opens to report success or failure. The test event does not appear in the Last event sent column of the Notification event list.
    Note: If the test fails, verify the following and try the test send again:
    1. You typed the correct TCP/IP information.
    2. The ServeRAID Manager is running on the remote system.
  3. Click OK.
