Integrating SunNet Manager With DiskSuite

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.
