Configuring a Streamvault manager entity

You can configure a Streamvault™ manager entity to control the alert configurations of a group of Streamvault™ hardware monitors from a single location. You can also set up notifications to be raised when problems occur. Using the Streamvault manager entity is optional.

1. In Config Tool, navigate to the Plugins task and select the Streamvault plugin role.
2. Right-click the Streamvault plugin role and click Create manager.

   

3. Select the Streamvault manager entity and click the General tab.
   The following sections are displayed:

   • The iDRAC alert configuration profile section manages iDRAC-enabled servers in your system.
   • The Non-iDRAC alert configuration profile section is used to manage other non-iDRAC servers in the system.

   Both sections are always shown, regardless of whether you have an iDRAC or non-iDRAC system.

4. (If applicable) In the iDRAC alert configuration profile section, configure the following:
   1. To manage iDRAC alert configurations through the Streamvault hardware monitor of the selected server, select the Hardware monitor manages iDRAC alert configurations checkbox.
   2. Select the checkboxes that correlate with the Events, Severity levels, and Notification types that you want to apply to the Streamvault Maintenance plugin instances controlled by the Streamvault manager.

      

      Note: Hardware monitors that have their configurations set by the Streamvault manager are listed under Hardware monitors using Streamvault™ manager configuration. Hardware monitors that use their own configurations are listed under Hardware monitors using custom configuration.

5. (If applicable) In the Non-iDRAC alert configuration profile section, configure the following:
   1. Select the checkboxes that correlate with the Events and Notification types that you want to apply to the Streamvault Maintenance plugin instances controlled by the Streamvault manager.
   2. Under Configuration, set the wear Threshold % of the solid-state drive (SSD) at which you want to receive a notification to inform you to replace the SSD soon.

      

      Note: Hardware monitors that have their configurations set by the Streamvault manager are listed under Hardware monitors using Streamvault™ manager configuration. Hardware monitors that use their own configurations are listed under Hardware monitors using custom configuration.

6. In the Email recipients section, choose which users and user groups receive email notifications when a condition in the iDRAC alert configuration profile or Non-iDRAC alert configuration profile section is met.

   

7. Click Apply.
