4. Select Remote Control Security. 5. In the Enter New Remote Control Password field, enter the Remote Control password that you wish to use each time you log into the remote control features of the Remote Supervisor Adapter Web Interface. 6. Select Change Control Password and then press Enter. 5.2 Management using the Remote Supervisor Adapter Once you have configured the Remote Supervisor Adapter as described in 5.1, "The Remote Supervisor Adapter" on page 118, you can then use the adapters to manage x450 by forwarding events to IBM Director. IBM Director can then be configured to act upon those events in a variety of ways (for example, by sending e-mail or a pager alert). Tip: This redbook assumes you are familiar with IBM Director. For information on how to configure and use IBM Director, see the redbook Implementing Systems Management Solutions using IBM Director, SG24-6188. The Remote Supervisor Adapter supports the following methods of forwarding alerts to IBM Director: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), as described in 5.2.2, "Configuring SNMP" on page 127 Communication directly with IBM Director, either via Ethernet or via modem, as described in 5.2.3, "Sending alerts directly to IBM Director" on page 128 Tip: While all methods are supported, it is recommended that only one method be utilized. Otherwise, you may have the situation where a single event on the x450 triggers multiple events in IBM Director. 5.2.1 Configuring which alerts to monitor Before configuring the method of sending the alert to IBM Director, you should first define which events the Remote Supervisor Adapter is to send. To enable alerting on the Remote Supervisor Adapter, do the following: 1. From the Web browser main menu, click Alerts in the navigation bar. 126 IBM ^ xSeries 450 Planning and Installation Guide

Management using the Remote Supervisor Adapter
Once you have configured the Remote Supervisor Adapter as described in 5.1,
“The Remote Supervisor Adapter” on page 118, you can then use the adapters
to manage x450 by forwarding events to IBM Director. IBM Director can then be
configured to act upon those events in a variety of ways (for example, by sending
e-mail or a pager alert).
The Remote Supervisor Adapter supports the following methods of forwarding
alerts to IBM Director:
±
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), as described in 5.2.2,
“Configuring SNMP” on page 127
±
Communication directly with IBM Director, either via Ethernet or via modem,
as described in 5.2.3, “Sending alerts directly to IBM Director” on page 128
5.2.1
Configuring which alerts to monitor
Before configuring the method of sending the alert to IBM Director, you should
first define which events the Remote Supervisor Adapter is to send.
To enable alerting on the Remote Supervisor Adapter, do the following:
1.
From the Web browser main menu, click
Alerts
in the navigation bar.
Tip:
This redbook assumes you are familiar with IBM Director. For information
on how to configure and use IBM Director, see the redbook
Implementing
Systems Management Solutions using IBM Director
, SG24-6188.
Tip:
While all methods are supported, it is recommended that only one
method be utilized. Otherwise, you may have the situation where a single
event on the x450 triggers multiple events in IBM Director.
