Understanding Device Configuration
When system events are the triggers, notifications can be sent to an OnBoard
administrator by one of the following methods:
•
SNMP trap
•
Pager
•
The OnBoard administrator can configure periodic checks of sensor readings
from service processors. Alarms can be set up to be triggered according to
rules based on sensor values. When sensor readings are the triggers, alarms
can be sent to OnBoard administrators by one of the following methods
•
Syslog message
•
SNMP trap
•
Pager
•
When email is selected as a method for delivering notifications, an email
address must be specified. See the following sections for how administrative
users can configure notifications and alarms and email:
•
“Configuring Notifications” on page 194
•
“Configuring Sensor Alarms” on page 201
•
“Configuring an Address for System Emails” on page 250
Understanding Device Configuration
When connecting devices to the OnBoard, observe the following
recommendations, which are illustrated in Figure 1-3:
•
Connect the main Ethernet port(s) on connected servers or devices to a
production
network, which must be accessible to all those who need to
access the device.
•
Connect the dedicated Ethernet port on each service processor or device
to one of the OnBoard’s private Ethernet ports. The connections between
the OnBoard and devices make up the
management network
.
•
Connect the OnBoard’s primary Ethernet port (
eth0
) to a local
management network and usually to the Internet, which extends the
management network to remote users whose access to devices is
controlled by the OnBoard.
