Configure SNMP event notification in the PowerVault
Manager
1. Verify that the storage system’s SNMP service is enabled. See Enable or disable system-management settings.
2. Configure and enable SNMP traps. See Setting system notification settings.
3. Optionally, configure a user account to receive SNMP traps. See Adding, modifying, and deleting users.
SNMP management
To view and set system group objects, SNMP must be enabled in the storage system. See Enable or disable system-management settings
on page 44. To use SNMPv3, it must be configured in both the storage system and the network management system that intends to
access the storage system or receive traps from it. In the storage system, SNMPv3 is configured through the creation and use of SNMP
user accounts, as described in Adding, modifying, and deleting users on page 40. The same users, security protocols, and passwords must
be configured in the network management system.
To obtain the MIB, see www.dell.com/support.
Using FTP and SFTP
Although the PowerVault Manager is the preferred interface for downloading log data and historical disk-performance statistics and
updating firmware, you can also use FTP and SFTP to do these tasks, and to install security certificates and keys.
NOTE: SFTP is enabled by default and FTP is disabled by default.
NOTE: Do not attempt to do more than one of the operations in this appendix at the same time. They can interfere with
each other and the operations may fail. Specifically, do not try to do more than one firmware update at the same time or
try to download system logs while doing a firmware update.
Downloading system logs
To help service personnel diagnose a system problem, you might be asked to provide system log data. You can download this data by
accessing the system’s FTP or SFTP interface and running the get logs command. When both controllers are online, regardless of
operating mode, get logs will download a single, compressed zip file that includes:
• Device status summary, which includes basic status and configuration data for the system
• Each controller’s MC logs
• Each controller’s event log
• Each controller’s debug log
• Each controller’s boot log, which shows the startup sequence
• Critical error dumps from each controller, if critical errors have occurred
• CAPI traces from each controller
Use a command-line-based FTP/SFTP client. A UI-based FTP/SFTP client might not work.
