Configuring the ServeRAID Manager agent
You can configure the ServeRAID Manager agent port number and alarm. You can
also configure the ServeRAID Manager agent to log events to the operating system
event log. To configure the agent, edit the file RaidAgnt.pps or adjust the General
settings in the ServeRAID Manager agent console. RaidAgnt.pps is located in the
same directory where you installed the ServeRAID Manager. If the RaidAgnt.pps
file does not exist when you start the ServeRAID Manager agent, a new file is
created with the default settings.
Note:
1. The RaidAgnt.pps file is preserved during a ServeRAID Manager
upgrade.
2. If you change settings while the ServeRAID Manager agent is running,
you must stop and restart the agent to make the changes take effect.
3. The ServeRAID Manager agent alarm is not supported by the ServeRAID
Manager in bootable-CD mode.
Configuring the port number
The default port number for the ServeRAID Manager agent and console (client) is
34571. To change the port number, edit the following line in the file RaidAgnt.pps:
agent.startupPortNum=34571
For accessing remote systems, the ServeRAID Manager uses four consecutive ports
starting from the startup port: 34571, 34572, 34573, and 34574. If your system has a
conflict with these ports, change the startup port to a different port number.
