5. To allow remote users to dial in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM
processor through a serial connection, select Enabled in the Logins through a
modem connection field.
6. In the Lockout period after five login failures field, specify how long, in
minutes, the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor will prohibit remote
login attempts, if more than five sequential failures to log in remotely are
detected.
Configuring remote alert settings
You can configure remote alert recipients, the number of alert attempts, incidents
that trigger remote alerts, and local alerts from the Alerts link on the navigation
pane.
After you configure a remote alert recipient, the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM
processor will send an alert to that recipient. The alert is sent through a serial
connection or a network connection, a numeric pager, or an alphanumeric pager
when any event selected from the Monitored Alerts group occurs. This alert
contains information about the nature of the event, the time and date of the event,
and the name of the system that generated the alert.
The Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor offers alert redundancy for
several managed systems at the same location. It sends alerts only once per
connection type, even when there is more than one active LAN or serial connection.
However, if one connection device fails, all other interconnected devices route the
alerts to the next available connection.
Notes:
1. If the SNMP Agent or SNMP Traps fields are not set to Enabled, no SNMP
traps are sent. For information about these fields, see “Configuring SNMP” on
page 38.
2. You cannot distinguish between the alerts that are sent to remote alert
recipients. All configured recipients receive each alert you select.
3. The Remote Supervisor Adapter cannot generate alerts; it can only forward the
alerts that are generated by the ASM processor on an xSeries 330 server or
that are generated by other devices on the same ASM interconnect network.
4. For an xSeries 330 server, you must log in to the ASM processor to configure
alert recipients, global alert settings, and incidents that trigger remote alerts and
local events.
5. If the ASM processor cannot send out the alert, it forwards the alert to the
Remote Supervisor Adapter. SNMP over LAN and IBM Director over LAN alerts
are always forwarded by the ASM processor because it does not have LAN
connectivity. For SNMP alerts, the configuration of the SNMP agent has to be
done on the Remote Supervisor Adapter. For more information about these
fields, see “Configuring SNMP” on page 38.
Configuring remote alert recipients
You can define up to 12 unique remote alert recipients. Each link for an alert
recipient is labeled with the recipient name, notification method, and alert status.
Complete the following steps to configure a remote alert recipient:
1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter for which you want to configure
remote alert settings. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and using
the ASM Web interface” on page 3.
