Step 5: Customizing Adaptec Storage Manager ●67
Customizing the Adaptec Storage Manager
Agent
The Adaptec Storage Manager agent’s default settings are suitable for
most storage spaces. (See page 17 for more information about the
agent.) However, you can customize the agent on any system by:
●Setting the agent to broadcast events on that system to all logged-in
users. See below.
●Changing the frequency and duration of the alarm, or choose to
disable the alarm for that system. See page 67.
●Changing the operating system even t log setti ng f o r tha t sy st e m . See
page 69.
●Changing to agent base port number on that system. See page 69.
Any changes you make to the agent settings affect the selected system
only and are not applied to all systems in your storage space.
Broadcasting Event Alerts from a System
You can set the Adaptec Storage Manager agent to send ev ent 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 isn’t
managed by a dedicat ed person, or if that pa rticular system is off-site or
isn’t connected to a monitor.
Event alerts signal to everyone working on the storage space that
technical assistance is required for that system.
Fo r more information, see Broadcasting Ev ent Alerts to Users on page
120.
Changing a System’s Audible Alarm Settings
Warning- and Error-level events on a system (see page 101) 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. For information about using the
audible alarm, see page 121.
