Configuring In-band Management Services You can manage the storage system in-band with custom applications written using the Configuration API (CAPI). If you are not using CAPI-based applications, you can disable in-band management. You can also monitor system status in-band based on SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) data. To configure in-band management services: 1. Select Manage > General Config > Services Security. 2. In the Inband Management Services panel, set these options: ■ Inband CAPI Capability - Used for in-band management of the system from host-based management applications. If this option is disabled, the applications will lose access to the system. The default is Disabled. ■ Inband SES Capability - Used for in-band monitoring of system status based on SCSI Enclosure Services data. The default is Disabled. 3. Click Update Inband Management Services. Saving Log Information to a File In preparation for contacting technical support, you can save the following types of log information to a file: ■ Device status summary, which includes basic status and configuration information for the system. ■ Event logs from both controllers when in active-active mode. ■ Debug logs from both controllers when in active-active mode. ■ Boot logs, which show the startup sequence for each controller. ■ Up to four critical error dumps from each controller. These will exist only if critical errors have occurred. ■ Management Controller traces, which trace interface activity between the controllers' internal processors and activity on the management processor. Note - The controllers share one memory buffer for gathering log data and for loading firmware. Do not try to perform more than one save-logs operation at a time, or to perform a firmware-update operation while performing a save-logs operation. Doing so will display a "buffer busy" error. 192 HP StorageWorks 2000 Family Modular Smart Array reference guide • August 2008
