File Tasks

This chapter describes the File 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 icons provide the same functions. Where the menu and the icons 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 Element Manager, do the following:

Step 1 Click the File menu and choose 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 Open.

The Server Switch loads in the Element Manager GUI.

Using the Open Icon

To open a Server Switch with the Open icon, do the following:

Step 1 Click the Open icon ().

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 Open.

The Server Switch loads in the Element Manager GUI.

Configuring Polling Interval

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

Step 1 Click the File menu and choose 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 check box, and then click OK.

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, do the following:

Step 1 Click the File menu and choose Preferences.

The Preferences window opens.

Step 2 Click the Polling tab.

Step 3 Uncheck the Enable check box, and then click OK.

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 Element Manager 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 6-8.

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, do the following:

Step 1 Click the File menu and choose 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 check box 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 check box to configure Element Manager to automatically add your host to the Trap Receivers table on any Server Switch that you open in the Element Manager GUI. If another application on your host receives SNMP traps, see the "Configuring Your Host as a Trap Receiver" section on page 6-8 to send Server Switch traps to that application.

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

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

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

Step 8 Click OK.

Configuring Miscellaneous Trap Preferences

To configure miscellaneous trap preferences, do the following:

Step 1 Click the File menu and choose 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 check box to confirm the row deletion.

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

Step 6 Click OK.

Viewing Element Manager Trace Log

To view the Element Manager trace log, do the following:

Step 1 Click the File menu and choose Preferences.

Step 2 Click the SNMP tab.

Step 3 Check the Trace check box to begin tracing SNMP traps.

Step 4 Click the Misc tab.

Step 5 Click the Show Element Manager Trace Log check box.

Step 6 Click OK.

The Trace Log window opens.
