Monitoring systems over a network

You can monitor other systems over a network. To do so, the HP Storage Manager must be installed and running on your local system and on the other systems. Then, you can add the remote systems to your HP Storage Manager Controller view. Also, you can choose to use the HP Storage Manager agent, instead of the HP Storage Manager program.

Note: You cannot monitor other systems when using:

• HP Storage Manager in bootable-CD mode

In addition to the HP Storage Manager, you can use the following:

• The Notification Manager is a tool that you can use to notify other systems running the HP Storage Manager of all events that occur on this (that is, the local) system.
  
  
• You can use the Security Manager to give users the ability to configure and view controller information from remote systems.
  

  Note: The Security Manager is not available on Windows and Linux. For these operating systems, the application uses local authentication to validate user access to remote systems.

  
  
• Use the Email Notification Manager to notify users by email when events occur on the local system. You can send email notifications to anyone on the network; the recipient does not have to be running HP Storage Manager.
  
  
• Use the Task Manager to manage scheduled tasks on local or remote systems, such as logical device migration or synchronization. You can modify the task schedule, delete the scheduled task, or view task properties.
