The Subsystem Management window
Once a system to be managed is selected in the Enterprise Management window, clicking it
opens the Subsystem Management window for that particular system. In Figure 4-17, there is
a sample window showing the summary view of the Subsystem Management window. Note
the multiple tabs that are available, each presenting a different view of the subsystem. This
multiple tabs view is available with firmware version 10.50 and later. If you are managing a
storage subsystem with an earlier firmware version, you will see only two tabs in this view.
Figure 4-17 Subsystem Management Summary view
We cover the different options available in the Subsystem Management windows later in
4.7.1, “Installing Storage Manager in a Windows Server 2008 host” on page 153.
4.6.3 Event Monitor service
The Event Monitor service handles notification functions (e-mail and SNMP traps) and
monitors storage systems whenever the Enterprise Management window is not open.
The Event Monitor is a separate program bundled with the Storage Manager client software
(the Event Monitor cannot be installed without the client.) The Event Monitor can only be
installed on a management station or host server connected to the storage systems. For
continuous monitoring, the Event Monitor must be installed on a host server that runs 24
hours a day. Once installed, the Event Monitor runs in the background and checks for possible
critical problems. If it detects a problem, it notifies a remote system through e-mail, Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), or both.
