The Add Server or Edit Server window establishes information about the selected server.
Fields Requiring User Input
Server Name
The name you use to identify the server. If this name is in your network's name server database, SANscape searches for the name and automatically displays the corresponding IP address in the IP address field.
The Properties Tab IP Address of the Server If SANscape has not already displayed the IP address for you, click Get IP Addr by Name, which is another method for having the program search for the IP address as it is recorded on your network. If the program does not find the name, you must type the IP address manually. Automatic Discovery When you select Yes, SANscape automatically retrieves all information available about this server when the console is started. When you select No, SANscape does not retrieve server information when starting up. The server is displayed as color-coded white to indicate it is undiscovered. When you double-click an undiscovered server, the program prompts you for a password for the server. Optionally, you can also select the server and choose File > Login. Select the No option if you need a very secure environment where access even to server inventory data is restricted. ssmon Password If you selected Yes for Auto Discovery, type the ssmon password that was set up on the server or group of servers if you have a domain or a DNS tree. For information on the ssmon password, see Login/out and Security. The Mailing List Tab Email Addresses in Mailing List (Optional) Provide email addresses of the people who receive event messages on the server. For each user, provide:
Click the Add to List button. If you want to remove an address, click the address in the Mail Address list and click the Delete from List button. For more information on severity levels, see Event Log. Set Up Mail Server (Optional) If you provided email addresses, you must also indicate the address of the Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) mail server that is going to deliver email messages about events that take place on the server's storage devices. Click Setup Mail Server. The Mail Server Setup window is displayed. Type the mail server's address and click OK. The Groups Tab A group is a logical collection of servers within the device tree. A group enables multiple servers to be displayed under a single category. Use the arrow button to select the group you want this server to belong to and click OK. See also Groups and Group List Setup. NOTE: When you have completed your entries in this window, click OK to return to the Server List Setup window. |
