Using Fabric Watch management software is a third party product. Configure the software to receive trap information from the network device. Also configure the SNMP agent on the switch to send the trap to the management station with the agtcfgset command. For more information on the aftcfgset command, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide. An SNMP trap forwards the following information to an SNMP management station: ■ name of the element whose counter registered an event ■ class, area, and index number of the threshold that the counter crossed ■ event type ■ value of the counter that exceeded the threshold ■ state of the element that triggered the alarm ■ source of the trap This alarm stores event information for SAN managers, but does not actively alert SAN managers to events. RapiTrap RapiTrap actively alerts SAN managers to events. Once you enable RapiTrap, Fabric Watch forwards all event information to a designated proxy switch. (The host API automatically configures the proxy switch based on firmware version.) The switch then forwards the information to a server and alerts the SAN manager to event activity. Third party applications that use the HP API determine how RapiTrap presents alarms to the user. Email Alert Email alert sends information about a switch event to a specified email address. Email alert can send information about any error from any element, area, and class. The email specifies the threshold and describes the event, much like an error message. You must use the fwMailCfg command to configure email alerts. Note: Even when e-mail is enabled for each class through fwmailcfg, it will be disabled after switch reboot to prevent a flood of messages. 46 Fabric Watch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
