●Target device monitoring

•When starting up or rebooting a target device with the ETERNUSmgr already activated and monitoring the device status, during the first few minutes until the target device is up and running, ETERNUSmgr will output alarm history messages and E-mails related to the addition/removal of target device components. These particular messages are output at startup as the target device tries to recognize its own configuration, and are not error mes- sages.

-An example of a message indicating the addition of a drive enclosure is: "Increase Drive Enclosure # 12"

-An example of a message indicating the removal of a drive enclosure is: "Decrease Drive Enclosure # 34"

•If, when monitoring multiple target devices, there is a specification error, such as duplica- tion of information between the multiple setup files, ETERNUSmgr may try to monitor the same target device using the settings from different setup files and end up displaying an error message and terminating the process. When this happens, either delete one of the duplicate setup files or correct the error in the settings of the files. When looking for errors in the settings, in addition to verifying the address of the device that is being monitored ("TARGET_ADDR" parameter), make sure that you also check that the Alarm History Files Directory ("HTML_ALARMFILE_PATH" parameter) and Log Files Directory ("LOGFILE_PATH" parameter) are not duplicated in different setup files. If the values of these parameters are duplicated in different setup files, ETERNUSmgr will try to create conflicting log data in the same directory or file.

Refer to "Chapter 2 Setup" (page 9) for information on how to modify the setup files, and "ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Settings/Maintenance-" for information on ETERNUSmgr error messages and the procedures to use when they appear.

•Configuring multiple ETERNUSmgr instances to monitor the same target device may bur- den the device and overload the connection, resulting in operational errors on the target device. Be careful not to start up multiple ETERNUSmgr instances to monitor the same target device (Excluding situations where ETERNUSmgr is installed into both nodes in a cluster system).

•ETERNUSmgr sends a message to the administrator every time an abnormality is detected. Be aware that if the Alarm Mailing Interval is too short, an excessive number of E-mail messages may be sent to the administrator.

●ETERNUSmgr compatibility with GRmgr

•ETERNUSmgr compatibility with GRmgr versions V10L20 and earlier

-The operating logic, data files and log files for GRmgr versions V10L20 or earlier are not com- patible with ETERNUSmgr. When upgrading GRmgr version V10L20 or earlier to ETER- NUSmgr, uninstall the old GRmgr version before installing ETERNUSmgr. Also, use the new setup files ("STX - .INI") that are generated when ETERNUSmgr is installed.

-The setup files of V10L20 and earlier are not compatible with ETERNUSmgr, and cannot be used.

Using these files will cause a "Bad parameter (CODE 913)" error to occur, and target device monitoring stops.

•ETERNUSmgr compatibility with GRmgr versions V10L30 and later (V10L30, V10L40, V10L50, V10L60)

-ETERNUSmgr is compatible with the operating logic, data files and log files of GRmgr ver- sions V10L30 and later.

-It is possible to use setup files ("STX - .INI") from GRmgr versions V10L30 and later, but the following procedure must be followed:

1 Move the GRmgr V10L30 (or later) setup files to a temporary location. 2 Uninstall V10L30 (or later) GRmgr.

3 Install ETERNUSmgr.
