About ETERNUSmgr

The ETERNUSmgr provides functions for administrators to manage the ETERNUS8000, ETERNUS4000, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS6000, ETERNUS3000, and GR series storage systems (here- after, storage system). There are two parts that support the management facilities, the ETERNUSmgr fron- tend and ETERNUSmgr backend programs. The ETERNUSmgr frontend is installed in a Managing (or Management) Server to provide specific functions across one or more storage systems. The ETERNUSmgr backend programs are part of the firmware within each of the storage systems, which are used to display the status and perform settings and maintenance of each respective storage system.

This guide explains the installation and operation of the ETERNUSmgr frontend.

The ETERNUSmgr frontend provides three specific optional functions: 1) a portal for access to each of several storage systems, 2) customer e-mail notification of events, and 3) event and log recording and dis- play. The ETERNUSmgr firmware on each storage system can provide SNMP Traps. A central monitoring system is required. However, if the customer has a central monitoring system, which fields SNMP Traps (For example SOFTEK Storage Cruiser), and does not need to directly receive e-mail notification of events, then the ETERNUSmgr frontend and the Management Server are not necessary. When service actions are necessary, direct logon to the specific storage system, using the Web browser, can be used to access the ETERNUSmgr backend programs. When events occur in a storage system, REMCS (REMote Customer Support system) e-mail services provide notice to the Fujitsu Global Support Center, which in turn can notify the customer.

ETERNUSmgr can be installed on any server (hereafter referred to as "ETERNUSmgr server") with a Windows® 2000, Windows Server® 2003, Windows Server® 2003 R2, Solaris OS, or Linux operating system installed.

The ETERNUSmgr server connects to the target devices through a Local Area Network (LAN).

An administrator can determine the state of the target devices or perform maintenance procedures from any computer with a Web browser installed.

Administrators can be notified by E-mail of the details of hardware failures detected by ETERNUSmgr. It is possible to disable mail notification in ETERNUSmgr.

The illustration below shows a sample connection setup for the ETERNUSmgr.
