File Menu Tasks

This chapter describes the File menu tasks for Element Manager and contains these sections:

•Opening a Server Switch with Element Manager

•Configuring Polling Interval

•Configuring SNMP Preferences

•Configuring Miscellaneous Trap Preferences

•Refreshing the Element Manager Display

•Launching a Telnet Session

•Closing Element Manager

Note The File menu in the Element Manager GUI provides basic GUI functions and configuration options. Some feature buttons provide the same functions. Where the menu and the buttons overlap, the tasks in this chapter describe both options.

Opening a Server Switch with Element Manager

After you launch Element Manager, you can change the Server Switch that you view and configure with the GUI. To configure a Server Switch other than the one that you opened when you launched EM, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Click the File menu and select Open. The Open Device window opens.

Step 2 Enter the IP address or DNS name (if applicable) of the Server Switch that you want to open in the Device Name or IP Address field.

Step 3 Enter the SNMP community to which the Server Switch belongs in the SNMP Community field.

Step 4 Click the Open button. The Server Switch loads in the EM GUI.

Using the Open Button

To open a Server Switch with the Open feature button, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Click the Open feature button (). The Open Device window opens.

Step 2 Enter the IP address or DNS name (if applicable) of the Server Switch that you want to open in the Device Name or IP Address field.

Step 3 Enter the SNMP community to which the Server Switch belongs in the SNMP Community field.

Step 4 Click the Open button. The Server Switch loads in the EM GUI.

Configuring Polling Interval

To configure the frequency with which Element Manager polls the Server Switch for updates, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Click the File menu and select Preferences. The Preferences window opens.

Step 2 Click the Polling tab.

Step 3 Enter an integer value in the Status Interval field to configure the interval, in seconds, at which Element Manager polls the Server Switch.

Step 4 Enter an integer value in the Hotswap Detect every field to configure the number of status intervals that pass before Element Manager detects removed or replaced hot-swappable hardware components.

Step 5 Check the Enable checkbox, and then click the OK button.

Disable Polling

When you disable polling, Element Manager refreshes only when you manually refresh the display (see the "Refreshing the Element Manager Display" section). To disable polling, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Click the File menu and select Preferences. The Preferences window opens.

Step 2 Click the Polling tab.

Step 3 Uncheck the Enable checkbox, and then click the OK button.

Configuring SNMP Preferences

The SNMP preferences that you can configure depend on the application that controls port 162 on the host that runs Element Manager. Server Switches send all SNMP traps to port 162. If you run an application other than Element Manager that manages port 162, you must manually register your host in each Server Switch that you open with EM to send Server Switch traps to your application. To manually register your host, see the "Configuring Your Host as a Trap Receiver" section on page 6-5.

If Element Manager controls port 162 to receive SNMP traps from the Server Switch, you can configure host registration and other options. To configure SNMP preferences, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Click the File menu and select Preferences. The Preferences window opens.

Step 2 Click the SNMP tab.

Step 3 Enter an integer value (from 0 to 5) in the Retry Count field to specify the maximum number of retries.

Step 4 Enter an integer value (from 3 to 30) in the Timeout field to configure the SNMP timeout interval, in seconds.

Step 5 (Optional) Check the Trace checkbox to begin tracing SNMP traps.

Note You can view the SNMP traps as you trace them with the Trace Log (see the "Viewing Element Manager Trace Log" section).

Step 6 (Optional) Check the Register for Traps checkbox to configure Element Manager to automatically add your host to the Trap Receivers table on any Server Switch that you open in the EM GUI. If another application on your host receives SNMP traps, refer to the "Configuring Your Host as a Trap Receiver" section on page 6-5 to send Server Switch traps to that application.

Note When you check the Register for Traps checkbox, Element Manager automatically checks the Listen for Traps checkbox.

Step 7 (Optional) Check the Listen for Traps checkbox to receive SNMP traps from the Server Switch.

Note If Element Manager does not let you access this checkbox, uncheck the Register for Traps checkbox.

Step 8 Click the OK button.

Configuring Miscellaneous Trap Preferences

To configure miscellaneous trap preferences, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Click the File menu and select Preferences.

Step 2 Click the Misc tab.

Step 3 Enter an integer value in the Max Traps in Log field to limit the number of traps that appear in the log.

Step 4 (Optional) Check the Confirm row deletion checkbox to confirm the row deletion.

Step 5 (Optional) Check the Save communities in configuration files checkbox to save SNMP communities in the configuration file.

Step 6 Click the OK button.

Viewing Element Manager Trace Log

To view the Element Manager trace log, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Click the File menu and select Preferences.

Step 2 Click the SNMP tab.

Step 3 Check the Trace checkbox to begin tracing SNMP traps.

Step 4 Click the Misc tab.

Step 5 Click the Show Element Manager Trace Log checkbox.

Step 6 Click the OK button. The Trace Log window opens.

Refreshing the Element Manager Display

•Click the File menu and select Refresh.

•Click the Refresh feature button ().

Launching a Telnet Session

To refresh the Element Manager display to reflect the most recent status of the Server Switch, perform one of the following steps:

•Click the File menu and select Telnet.

•Click the Telnet feature button ().
