Configuration

Setting Up the Hardware Event Monitor

Separate monitors watch over the disks and the disk system. You need to install
and configure the Disk Monitor (disk_em) and the High Availability Storage
System Monitor (dm_ses_enclosure) for complete event notification.

To install and configure the required monitors, refer to the EMS Hardware
Monitors User’s Guide
, which is included in Adobe Acrobat format on the IPR
Support Media. You can download a copy of Acrobat Reader without charge
from http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html.

Aliasing Devices (HP-Qualified Only)

Using host-based software, you can “label” each disk system with any
information that would be useful for the site. You might use this feature to assign
an inventory number or to indicate the location of the product. The maximum
length of the annotation is 256 characters.

Using SAM

To define a text string using SAM, select the desired LCC or disk from the Disk
Devices list; then select Annotate Device from the Actions menu. Type the
comment that you want in the Annotation field and select OK.

You can view the annotation through the Annotate Device option in the Actions
menu or by displaying the Annotation column in the Disk Devices list. To
include the Annotation column in the Disk Devices window, select Columns
from the View menu and choose Annotation.

Using STM (HP-Qualified Only)

Annotating devices is a password-protected function of STM (Support Tools
Manager). Use the System menu License option to install the HP-Only license
before you select the annotate function.

1

Run STM and install the HP-Only license.

2

Select the desired LCC.

3

Select Expert Tool > Run from the Tools menu. An Expert Tool window
opens.
