IBM Partner Pavilion Remote Supervisor Adapter - Manual (Page 31)

Note: All selected alert events are sent to all configured remote alert
recipients.
Forwarding alerts
The Alert Forwarding setting applies only to alerts forwarded from the integrated
system management processor (ISMP) on an ASM interconnect network. The
ISMPs on the network forward alerts to only the Remote Supervisor Adapter that is
designated as the gateway. A Remote Supervisor Adapter is a gateway to the
interconnect network if:
v On the Alerts Forwarding page, you click Make this ASM the Gateway.
v If none of the Remote Supervisor Adapters on the network are configured by a
user to be the gateway, the Remote Supervisor Adapters on the network
negotiate and designate one Remote Supervisor Adapter to be the gateway.
Notes:
1. There has to be at least one Remote Supervisor Adapter on the interconnect
network for ISMP alerts to be forwarded.
2. At any time, only one Remote Supervisor Adapter can be the gateway on an
interconnect network.
3. When a user configures a Remote Supervisor Adapter to be the gateway, any
existing gateway (user defined or negotiated) ceases to be the gateway.
4. The remote alert recipients and monitored alerts for the ISMPs on the
interconnect network have to be configured on the gateway Remote Supervisor
Adapter.
Complete the following steps to verify whether the selected Remote Supervisor
Adapter is the gateway to the interconnect network:
1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter for which you want to see the alert
forwarding status. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and using the
ASM Web interface” on page 3.
2. In the navigation pane, click Alerts and scroll down to the Alert Forwarding
section:
3. The Status field shows whether the Remote Supervisor Adapter is the gateway,
and if it is, whether it is a user configured or negotiated gateway. The possible
values are:
v Not a gateway for ISMPs
v User configured gateway for ISMPs
v Negotiated gateway for ISMPs
Setting remote alert attempts
When you are logged in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter, the remote alert
attempts settings apply only to forwarded alerts. When you are logged in to the
ASM processor, the remote alert attempts settings apply to the alerts generated by
the ASM processor.
