Enhancing IBM Tivoli SAN Manager Device Availability Alerting

Overview This paper outlines how it is possible to enhance the real-time alerting of the availability status of SAN devices with the IBM Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager SAN management solution. The approach outlined uses the industry standard FC Mgmt MIB implemented by most SAN devices to report device status information, irrespective of device type or vendor. The FC Mgmt MIB was originally created for just this task, providing for the reporting of device events, and monitoring and alerting on device and port status information, device internal temperature, and the availability of power supplies and fans.
