Setting Up the Report Tool

On UNIX systems (Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, IBM AIX), the SANscape Alert Report capability enables you to generate a report that contains the configuration of all locally attached arrays.

To Set Up and Use the Report Tool

  1. Configure the local host to monitor the locally attached arrays.

    • From the main window, choose Array Administration > Controller Assignment.

      The Assign Server to Manage a RAID Controller window is displayed.

    • Select a server from the Server to manage this controller list and click Apply.

      This enables the selected server to manage an array controller. It also disables all other servers listed from managing the same array.

    • Click Close to close the view.

  2. For Solaris, Linux, or HP-UX, change to opt/dothill/SANscapeAlert
    For IBM AIX, change to usr/dothill/SANscapeAlert

  3. Add the local server to the ssaltcli.cfg file by typing:

    # /usr/sbin/ssalertd -c -s

    You are prompted for the ssconfig password.

  4. Run the following command to generate the report

    # /usr/sbin/ssalertd -r

The default report file name is report.xml. For systems running Solaris, Linux, or HP-UX, it is saved to /opt/dothill/SANscapeAlertUI. For systems running IBM AIX, it is saved to /usr/dothill/SANscapeAlertUI.
