Event Manager displays events it receives from CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager. As of version 9.5,
InVsn Enterprise Manager does not provide events to the management server. As future versions of
CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager provide event support, the management server will be able to
provide information about those events.
Issues with Brocade Switches
• Event Manager does not display events from Brocade switches with the firmware version 3.0.
This firmware version is not supported by Event Manager. You can, however, specify that Event
Manager not display events from additional firmware versions.
• Events from Brocade Fabric Watch are not supported when the Brocade switch has been
discovered through the SMI-S provider.
Issues with McDATA and Connectrix Switches
• If you discovered McDATA and/or Connectrix switches through SWAPI, Event Manager does not
report events for switch hardware failures, except for those regarding switch ports (port
offline/port online).
• If you are not receiving events from McDATA and Connectrix switches discovered through SNMP,
make sure you have the correct port set for receiving SNMP traps. You must also configure the
proxy or each switch (depending on your configuration for discovery) to send the SNMP traps to
the correct port on the management server. See ”Discovering McDATA and EMC Connectrix
Switches” on page 38 for more information.
• If you want the management server to receive SNMP events from Connectrix or McDATA
switches, do one of the following:
• If you discovered Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager, enable SNMP trap forwarding only
to the management server on the Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager, not on the
individual switches. Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager should be configured to forward
SNMP traps to the IP address of the management server; and the community string should
match the user ID you used to discover Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager.
• If you discovered Connectrix or McDATA switches directly, enable SNMP trap forwarding on
the switches, and not on any other management software. The switches should be configured
to forward SNMP traps to the IP address of the management server, and the community
string should match the user ID you used to discover the Connectrix or McDATA switches.
Issue with CLARiiON Storage Systems
When you manage a CLARiiON storage system, extraneous events appear in Event Manager such
as CRU Bound, CRU Enabled, and various Success messages. These do not indicate problems
and can safely be ignored.
Viewing Event Details
To access event details:
1. Access Event Manager as described in ”Accessing Event Manager” on page 331.
