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 46. 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
43. 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.
Download system logs
Perform the following steps to download the system logs:
1. In the PowerVault Manager, prepare to use FTP/SFTP:
a. Determine the network-port IP addresses of the system controllers. See Configuring controller network ports.
b. Verify that the FTP/SFTP service is enabled on the system. See Enable or disable system-management settings.
c. Verify that the user you will log in as has permission to use the FTP interface. See Adding, modifying, and deleting users.
