Use the Deleting Syslog Server Settings panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
delete a syslog server and all corresponding notification settings.
Attributes
The
following attributes are displayed:
- Server Name
- Displays the name for the syslog server. A valid
name is 1 to 15 ASCII characters. The following characters can be
used: a - z, A - Z, 0 - 9, -, _. The name cannot begin with a number
or the hyphen (-) character. Names starting with syslog are
reserved for SAN Volume Controller default
names.
- IP Address
- Displays the IP address of the syslog server. Both IPv4 and IPv6
address structures are supported.
- SVC Facility
- Displays the SAN Volume Controller facility
for the syslog server. The SAN Volume Controller facility
values displayed on the panel are translated into syslog facility
codes and values.
The SAN Volume Controller facility
of 0 - 3 results in the syslog server receiving messages in concise
format, which provide standard detail on the event. A SAN Volume Controller facility
of 4 - 7 results in the syslog server receiving messages in fully
expanded format, where more details are provided regarding the event.
- Send Error Notifications
- Displays the current setting for error notifications. When an event notification with the
type error is received by the SNMP server, the problem
must be fixed immediately. This notification indicates a serious
problem with the SAN Volume Controller cluster.
For example, the event that is being reported could indicate a loss
of redundancy in the system, and it is possible that another failure
could result in loss of access to data. A hardware failure is the
most typical reason this type of notification is sent, but some configuration
errors or fabric errors also are included in this notification type. The
following values are possible:
- On
- Indicates that events with the notification type
of error are sent to the specified syslog server.
- Off
- Indicates that events with the notification type
of error are not sent to the specified syslog server.
- Send Warning Notifications
- Displays the current setting for warning notifications.A warning notification is sent to
indicate a problem or unexpected condition with the SAN Volume Controller.
Always immediately investigate this type of notification to determine
the effect that it might have on your operation and correct the problem
if necessary. A warning notification does not require any replacement
parts and therefore should not require IBM® Support
Center involvement. However, the event being reported might indicate
a condition that could be fatal to your operating environment; such
as, a critical FlashCopy® operation
has failed. The
following values are possible:
- On
- Indicates that events with the notification type
of warning are sent to the specified syslog server.
- Off
- Indicates that events with the notification type
of warning are not sent to the specified syslog server.
- Send Informational Notifications
- Displays the current setting for informational notifications. For these types of notifications,
no action is necessary to resolve them. This notification indicates
an event that was expected has occurred. For example, a FlashCopy mapping event has completed successfully.
No remedial action is required when these notification types are sent. The
following values are possible:
- On
- Indicates that events with the notification type
of informational are sent to the specified syslog server.
- Off
- Indicates that events with the notification type
of informational are not sent to the specified syslog
server.
