Configuring and Using the 9900 Subsystem
4.5.4 Remote SIM (R-SIM) Reporting
The 9900 subsystem automatically reports all SIMs to the Remote Console PC (if powered on
and booted). These R-SIMs contain the same information as the SIMs reported to mainframe
hosts, enabling open-system users to monitor 9900 operations from the Remote Console PC.
The 9900 remote console software allows the user to view the R-SIMs by date/time or by
controller and to manage the R-SIM log file on the Remote Console PC.
4.5.5 SNMP Remote Subsystem Management
The 9900 subsystem supports the industry-standard simple network management protocol
(SNMP) for remote subsystem management from the UNIX
®
/PC server host. SNMP is used to
transport management information between the 9900 subsystem and the SNMP manager on
the host. The SNMP agent for the 9900 subsystem sends status information to the host(s)
when requested by the host or when a significant event occurs. Notification of 9900 error
conditions is made in real time, providing UNIX
®
/PC server users with the same level of
monitoring and support available to S/390
®
mainframe users. The SIM reporting via SNMP
enables the user to monitor the 9900 subsystem without having to check the Remote Console
PC for R-SIMs.
4.5.6 NAS and SAN Operations
