You can configure the Adaptec Storage Manager agent port number and alarm. You can also configure the Adaptec Storage Manager agent to log events to the operating system event log. To configure the agent, edit the file RaidAgnt.pps or adjust the General settings in the Adaptec Storage Manager agent console. RaidAgnt.pps is located in the same directory where you installed the Adaptec Storage Manager. If the RaidAgnt.pps file does not exist when you start the Adaptec Storage Manager agent, a new file is created with the default settings.
The default port number for the Adaptec Storage Manager agent and console (client) is 34571. To change the port number, edit the following line in the file RaidAgnt.pps:
agent.startupPortNum=34571
For accessing remote systems, the Adaptec Storage Manager uses four consecutive ports starting from the startup port: 34571, 34572, 34573, and 34574. If your system has a conflict with these ports, change the startup port to a different port number.
When the Adaptec Storage Manager agent is started, it reads the alarm settings. When a critical or fatal event occurs in the RAID subsystem, the Adaptec Storage Manager agent triggers its alarm, if enabled. The alarm continues at the specified interval until you either:
You can configure the following alarm settings:
The Adaptec Storage Manager agent logs warning and fatal events to the operating system event log. You can view the event log from the Adaptec Storage Manager console. For Windows systems, you can also view the event log with the Windows Event Viewer. For Unix systems, events are logged according to the /etc/syslog.conf settings. (For more information, see the syslogd(8) man page.)
You can enable and disable event logging by editing the following line in the file RaidAgnt.pps. Set the value to true to enable event logging (the default) or false to disable event logging.
agent.enable.logEventsWithOS = true
