• Displaying a message on the system console
• Paging the administrator
• Sending an e-mail alert
• Turning the system ID LED on or off
For example, if the temperature reaches a level outside of the user-defined threshold, an event has occurred.
You can configure PIC to respond to this event in multiple ways, as listed above.
You can use PIC to view system hardware, BIOS, and slot information. You can also use PIC to configure
alert actions for events generated by any of the following hardware components if they are on your server
platform:
• Onboard Adaptec SCSI controller
• Onboard LSI Logic SCSI controller
• Onboard QLogic SCSI controller
• Onboard Promise IDE controller
• Onboard Intel
LAN adapter
Using PIC
When you start PIC, the main window displays a tree view. You can expand the view to show the sensor
types supported on the managed server and further expand it to display detailed information. A presentation
area on the right half of the PIC window displays current readings, threshold configurations, inventory, and
other related information for whatever item you have selected in the tree view.
NOTE The first time that PI runs on a server after installation, all records of the SEL are read and
processed. If the SEL has many entries, it may take a long time to initialize when first
launching the ISM. This delay can be avoided by clearing old records from the SEL.
Most of the PIC sensors have associated thresholds that trigger alert actions when the thresholds are
crossed. You can:
• Specify which alert actions you want to occur
• Modify the default thresholds
• Configure the default actions and notifications for each threshold
