• Platform Event Paging is a service that notifies a numeric pager.
• E-mail Alerting sends a notice to specified e-mail IDs.
• System ID LED alerts use the system ID LED to indicate a system requiring attention.
LAN Alerts
The LAN Alert software can alert you of system failures and state changes regardless of the state of the
managed server’s operating system or the server’s management software. LAN Alert works with the
Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) to create SNMP traps and send them out over the LAN using a
UDP/IP protocol. On the management station, LanAlert Viewer senses and decodes these traps and displays
the results.
The LAN-Alert Viewer displays information about the Server IP address and sensor and event data related
to the alert. You can use the LanAlert Viewer to:
• Configure different notification and viewer options
• View detailed information about an alert
• Respond to an alert by acknowledging or deleting it from the list
• View the platform Globally Unique Identifier (GUID)
You can configure LanAlert to detect:
• Temperature or voltage sensors out of range
• Fan failures
• Chassis intrusion (security violation)
• Power supply faults
• Uncorrectable ECC memory errors
• POST error codes or boot failures
• Watchdog Timer reset, power down, or power cycle
• System reboot
On the managed servers you use the System Setup Utility (SSU) to configure:
• The trap destination as a specific IP address or an address of a specific IP subnet
• The Host IP configuration data such as the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask
• Filters for alert events
For more information about using LAN Alerts, see the LanAlert Viewer Help system.
Platform Event Paging (PEP)
Platform Event Paging lets the managed server send an alert for notification of critical system failures and
state changes, independent of the state of the operating system or server management software. Platform
Event Paging uses an external modem to send a message to a numeric paging service. When notified by a
page, you can use ISM tools to remotely view server health and status, system logs, and so on, or to configure
or reset the server.
Platform Event Paging can generate pages during pre-boot and post-boot states—the only requirements are
that the server is using a modem on the l0l0l serial port and the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
is functional.
