DiskSuite and SunNet Manager can be configured for cooperative ease of use. DiskSuite has the capability to forward its driver messages using asynchronous SNMP traps via a daemon that monitors the system console log. Messages, such as failures and errors, can then be detected by a SunNet Manager console. When you receive DiskSuite messages within SunNet Manager, you can launch DiskSuite Tool.
For more information on SunNet Manager, see the Site/SunNet/Domain Manager Administration Guide.
SunNet Manager automatically receives DiskSuite console messages. To enable SunNet Manager to launch DiskSuite Tool, follow these steps:
With SunNet Manager running, select Save To File from the File menu, then Exit from the File menu.
Edit the /opt/SUNWconn/snm/struct/elements.schema file to change the elementCommand structure for your server. The entry should look like this:
instance elementCommand ( ... (component.sun-server "DiskSuite Tool..." "/usr/sbin/metatool") ... |
Add this entry to the "component" category.
Restart SunNet Manager with the -i option.
The -i option reads the modified elements.schema file and reinitializes the SunNet Manager database.
Use this task to launch DiskSuite Tool from SunNet Manger. This task assumes you have followed the steps in the above task, "How to Enable SunNet Manager to Launch DiskSuite Tool (SunNet Manager)".
