Texas Memory Systems RamSan- 300 User Manual

 

 

 

 

 

The RamSan has the ability to send unsolicited messages to 
managers when it detects a significant event.  The SNMP standard 

refers to this type of message as a “trap.”   
 

The RamSan supports the following traps: 
•  Power on notification – indicates that the system has turned on 

•  Power off notification – indicates that a shutdown sequence has 

been initiated 

•  Power state notification – indicates that the power state has 

changed 

•  Memory state notification – indicates that the memory state 

has changed 

•  Battery state notification – indicates that the battery state has 

changed 

•  Fan state notification – indicates that a fan state has changed 

•  Disk state notification – indicates that the disk state has 

changed 

•  Disk array notification – indicates that the disk array state has 

changed 

•  Fibre Channel state notification – indicates that a fibre channel 

controller state has changed 

•  LUN change notification – indicates that the LUN table has been 

changed 

•  Fibre Channel configuration change notification – indicates that 

the configuration of a fibre channel controller has changed 

•  System message – contains additional system details 

 
All traps are enabled by default.  For more details regarding the 
RamSan’s traps, see Appendix E – SNMP Trap Definitions. 

 
You can specify a trap receiver to ensure that all SNMP traps sent 

by the RamSan go the same SNMP trap receiver or set of receivers, 
typically one or more host devices on the network.  The RamSan 

sends all the SNMP traps to the specified host(s) and includes the 
specified community strings. 

 
To specify the host to which the RamSan sends all SNMP traps, use 
one of the following methods: 

 

Via Text Management 

•  From the Telnet Main Menu, select “Management setup” 

•  Select “Configure SNMP” 

 

The top of this menu displays the current SNMP settings.   
 

To add a trap receiver to the list of Trap IPs:   
•  Select “Add IP address to the trap list” 

•  Enter the IP address of the trap receiver and press [ENTER]
