IBM Partner Pavilion Remote Supervisor Adapter Setting local events, Configuring the serial port

Setting local events

Complete the following steps to select the local events to which the Remote

Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor will respond:

1.Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter where you want to set local events. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and using the ASM Web interface” on page 3.

2.For an xSeries 330 server: Log in to the ASM processor. For more information, see “Remote Supervisor Adapter and ASM processor action descriptions” on page 7.

3.In the navigation pane, click Alerts and scroll down to the Monitored Local Events section.

4.Select the events that you want to store in the event log. The Remote Supervisor Adapter and ASM processor store the notification only in the event log.

Local events are generated for events sent to IBM Director, if it is installed, on the server where the ASM subsystem resides. These events are not sent to remote alert recipients. If the Select all local events check box is selected, an alert can be sent for any local event.

Table 6. Local events

Event	Action
Event log 75% full	Generates a local notification if the event log reaches 75% of
	capacity.
Voltage irregularity	Generates a local notification if any of the monitored voltages
	exceed their thresholds.
Power off	Generates a local notification if the server is powered off.
Power supply failure	Generates a local notification if a power supply failure is
	detected.
Event log full	Generates a local notification if the event log reaches its

	This feature is only available on some servers.
DASD failure	Generates a local notification if any hard disk drive failures are
	detected.
Remote login	Generates a local notification if a remote login occurs.
Temperature irregularity	Generates a local notification if any of the monitored
	temperatures exceed thresholds.
Fan failure	Generates a local notification if one or more cooling fans fail.

Configuring the serial port

You can either dedicate the integrated serial port on the Remote Supervisor Adapter to system management or share it with the server operating system. If dedicated to system management, the serial port serves only the Remote Supervisor Adapter and is always available for dial-in and dial-out alerting purposes. You will not be
