The ETERNUSmgr provides functions for administrators to manage the ETERNUS8000,
ETERNUS4000, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS6000, ETERNUS3000, and GR series storage systems (hereafter, storage system). There are two parts that support the management facilities, the ETERNUSmgr frontend and ETERNUSmgr backend programs. The ETERNUSmgr frontend is installed in a Managing (or
Management) Server to provide specific functions across one or more storage systems. The ETERNUSmgr
backend programs are part of the firmware within each of the storage systems, which are used to display
the status and perform settings and maintenance of each respective storage system.
This guide explains the installation and operation of the ETERNUSmgr frontend.
The ETERNUSmgr frontend provides three specific optional functions: 1) a portal for access to each of
several storage systems, 2) customer e-mail notification of events, and 3) event and log recording and display. The ETERNUSmgr firmware on each storage system can provide SNMP Traps. A central monitoring
system is required. However, if the customer has a central monitoring system, which fields SNMP Traps
(For example SOFTEK Storage Cruiser), and does not need to directly receive e-mail notification of
events, then the ETERNUSmgr frontend and the Management Server are not necessary. When service
actions are necessary, direct logon to the specific storage system, using the Web browser, can be used to
access the ETERNUSmgr backend programs. When events occur in a storage system, REMCS (REMote
Customer Support system) e-mail services provide notice to the Fujitsu Global Support Center, whi ch in
turn can notify the customer.
1.1ETERNUSmgr Outline
ETERNUSmgr can be installed on any server (hereafter referred to as "ETERNUSmgr server") with a
Windows® 2000, Windows Server® 2003, Windows Server® 2003 R2 , Solaris OS, or Linux operating
system installed.
The ETERNUSmgr server connects to the target devices through a Local Area Network (LAN).
An administrator can determine the state of the target devices or perform maintenance procedures from
any computer with a Web browser installed.
Administrators can be notified by E-mail of the details of hardware failures detected by ETERNUSmgr. It
is possible to disable mail notification in ETERNUSmgr.
The illustration below shows a sample connection setup for the ETERNUSmgr.

P2X0-0202-01EN ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction-
ETERNUSmgr provides the following three functions.
• Target Device Configuration Browser
• Target Device Monitoring and Failure Notification
• Target Device Setup and Maintenance
■Target Device Configuration Browser
This displays the hardware structure of the target devices.
■Target Device Monitoring and Failure Notification
Target device failure is monitored for. When a failure occurs, a history of the fault is saved as an HTML
file (called an "alarm history file" from here on), and the administrator is notified by E-mail of the file's
location and content. As the alarm history file is kept for a fixed period of time, the administrator can
browse the failure history later, as time permits.
The error monitoring function records the enclosure number where the error occurred. The error monitoring function can detect only the error location in terms of drive enclosures, controller enclosures, and battery enclosures, not detailed error location such as hard disk, CPU, etc. To obtain detailed location once an
error is detected, please use ETERNUSmgr's [Device Status Display] window (the window in whic h the
entire device is displayed).
Specifically, when an error has been detected, the red warning lamp for an enclosure (Drive Enclosure,
Controller Enclosure, Battery Enclosure) on the [Device Status Display] window is activated. For details
on the [Device Status Display] window, see "ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Setting s/ Maintenance-".
The extent to which a device can be monitored depends on its model number. Components that can be
monitored for each type of target device are shown in the following list.

Chapter 2
Setup
This chapter explains how to setup ETERNUSmgr.
Setup must be performed with administrator privilege.
2.1Setup files
An ETERNUSmgr setup file is used to setup ETERNUSmgr to monitor a target device. The initial setup
files are generated automatically in the installation directory when ETERNUSmgr is installed. See the
"ETERNUS8000, ETERNUS4000, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS6000, ETERNUS3000 ETERNUSmgr
Install Guide" of each OS for details of installing ETERNUSmgr.
The parameters in each setup file must be adjusted to match the target device. After making the necessary
settings, shutdown and re-start the ETERNUSmgr to enable the new settings. Refer to "Chapter 3 Startup
and Shutdown" (page 31) for details on starting up and shutting down the system.
It is recommended that you make a backup of the current setup files before making any changes. Keep this
backup until you have verified that the new setup files operate normally.
Caution:
You can edit only the setup file parameters described in this guide. Do not delete comments or
blank lines from any setup files, and do not add anything other than parameters. Failure to follow
these instructions may hinder performance and/or cause problems during future upgrades.
Setup file names must be in the following format:
STX-.INI
If the file name is other than as specified above, ETERNUSmgr will not be able to detect the file.
The only place setup files should be saved is the installation directory. If a setup file is saved in another
directory, ETERNUSmgr will not be able to find it.
2
The following setup file parameters must be set:
• Target Address (See → page 12
• Target Type (See → page 13
• Target Flag (See → page 14
• Alarm History Files Directory (See → page 17
The setup file parameters required will vary according to the operating system and target device type.
The following list shows parameter types in the setup file and setting items for each OS.

2.3Setting Items
This section explains the setting items (parameter s) in the setup files.
2.3.1Target Device Settings
This section explains the settings that allow ETERNUSmgr to monito r a target device.
■Target Address
The target address parameter is used to set the IP address or host name assigned to the target device.
The target port number does not need to be changed (the default number is normally used).
Target address cannot be omitted. ETERNUSmgr will not start if this parameter has not been set.
Specify SVP IP address if the ETERNUS6000 is using SVP.
[Default value]
TARGET_PORT = 80
(TARGET_ADDR must be set. There is no default.)
[Parameter]
T A RGET_ADDR (up to 64 characters)
TARGET_PORT (0-65535)
[Example]
TARGET_ADDR=127.0.0.1 or TARGET_ADDR=host-name.domain-name.com
TARGET_PORT=80
Caution:
• As the default port number is normally used, the target port parameter is initially commented out.
• If the target address is changed, the target address must also be changed in the top
menu ("menu.htm").
12
ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction- P2X0-0202-01EN
This parameter is used to control polling (periodically checking the status) of a target device.
Set the polling interval in units of seconds within the range of 1 ~ 65535.
[Default value]
300
[Parameter]
POLLING_TIME (1-65535)
Chapter 2 Setup
[Example]
POLLING_TIME=300
This specifies the Polling Interval (time between the start of one poll to the next).
Due to network or device load the actual polling time may exceed the set time. In such cases, the start of
the next polling time is delayed until the previous polling finishes:

Caution:
Unless there is some special reason to change this parameter, it is recommended to keep the
default. For this reason the parameter is initially commented out.
■Target Type
Sets the target device type. Two parameters are provided: TARGET_TYPE and TARGET_FLAG
These parameters cannot be omitted. ETERNUSmgr will not start if these parameter have not been set.
[Parameter]
TARGET_TYPE (up to 256 characters)
[Example]
Any character string can be used to describe the target device type.
When the type of target device is ETERNUS3000:
TARGET_TYPE=ETERNUS3000
P2X0-0202-01EN ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction-
• Note that even if the TARGET_TYPE and the TARGET_FLAG settings are different,
ETERNUSmgr operations are not affected.
• Although any character string can be set in TARGET_TYPE, it is recommended to set
one of the correct target device types ("ETERNUS8000", "ETERNUS4000",
"ETERNUS2000", "ETERNUS6000", "ETERNUS3000", "GR710", "GR720", "GR730",
"GR740", "GR820", or "GR840"). The character string in TARGET_TYPE is used
when the administrator is notified by E-mail, and in the alarm history files.
Set to either 1, 2 or 4 according to the Target Type being monitored.
When the type of target device is ETERNUS3000:
TARGET_FLAG=1
Caution:
• The TARGET_FLAG p arameter must be set to the correct Target Type. ETERNUSmgr
will be unable to monitor the target device properly if this setting is wrong.
• Note that even if the TARGET_TYPE and the TARGET_FLAG settings are different,
ETERNUSmgr operations are not affected.
■Detect Offline Targets
This parameter determines whether or not notification is sent when a device goes offline.
The "Offline" condition is entered when ETERNUSmgr cannot monitor a target device due to a machine
problem (e.g. device is turned off, busy, etc.), or problem with the communication link between the ETERNUSmgr server and the target device (e.g. bad connection, timeouts due to network overload).
If this happens, the ETERNUSmgr Top Menu ("menu.htm") will show the target device status as being
"(*Offline*)" in a similar manner to the detection of machine failures, and E-mail notification (if enabled)
will be sent.
ETERNUSmgr does not provide for notification of "Offline" status if this parameter is omitted.
This parameter is enabled in its setup file immediately after insta lla tion.
Set "TRUE" to detect the offline status.
Omit setting to disable this parameter.
[Parameter]
DETECT_OFFLINE
[Example]
Detect the offline status, set as below:
14
DETECT_OFFLINE=TRUE
ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction- P2X0-0202-01EN
This parameter is used to set the "target device busy" status detection time. Units are seconds.
Depending on what the ETERNUS device is doing, its device status can sometimes temporarily become
"busy".
In particular, the device cannot respond while it is booting.
Busy status is temporary, it does not mean device abnormality.
When device busy status is detected, ETERNUSmgr inhibits notification with logs or mails of device
abnormality for a set period of time.
When the busy status exceeds that definite period of time, ETERNUSmgr notifies of a device abnormality.
Chapter 2 Setup
[Default value]
1800 (seconds)
[Parameter]
BUSY_TIME (0-65535)
[Example]
BUSY_TIME=1800
Caution:
This setting is not described in the initial setup file. Add if necessary.
This setting needs not be changed.
2.3.2E-mail Notification Settings
This section explains how to setup the E-mail notification function. See "6.3 E-mail Messages" (page 47)
for the content of E-mail messages provided by this function.
■Admin Mail Address
This parameter is used to specify an address to which to send the E-mail generated in the event of change
in the target device status. Usually this is the address of the target device administrator.
The E-mail notification function is disabled if this parameter is omitted.
2
[Parameter]
ADMIN_MAIL (up to 64 characters)
[Example]
ADMIN_MAIL=admin@domain-name.com
To set multiple E-mail addresses, use a comma with no spaces between each address.
ADMIN_MAIL=admin1@domain-name.com,admin2@domain-name.com
■Alarm Mailing Interval
This parameter is used to specify the interval for sending generated E-mail in the event of a failure or
abnormality in the machine. Units are seconds.
Set the interval in units of seconds within the range of 1 ~ 65535. Set this parameter only if you wish to
send E-mail with timing different from the specified Polling Interval. For example, by setting this parameter, you can set a short Polling Interval and long Alarm Mailing Interval. This will allow any device errors
that may have occurred over this interval to be collected and sent together with other E-mail messages.
P2X0-0202-01EN ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction-
This parameter is not a required setting. If omitted, the default value will be the same as the Polling Interval.
[Parameter]
MAIL_SEND_TIME (1-65535)
[Example]
MAIL_SEND_TIME=300
This specifies the Alarm Mailing Interval (time between the send ing of one notification E-mail message to
the next) for sending E-mail.
Due to network or device load the time to send the E-mail may exceed the expected time. In such cases, the
E-mail sending times are recalculated the same way as for the polling time.
Caution:
Unless there is some special reason to change this parameter, it is recommended to keep the
default. For this reason the parameter is initially commented out.
When the Polling Interval and the Alarm Mailing Interval are different:

2.3.3Alarm History File Settings
This section explains the alarm history file settings. See "6.1 Alarm History Messages" (page 45) for
details of the alarm history files.
■Alarm History File Directory
Each time an abnormality is detected in a machine, a copy of the alarm window that details the occurrence
of the abnormality is saved as an HTML file. The directory in which these Alarm History Files are saved
must be specified as an absolute path.
This is a required parameter. ETERNUSmgr will not start if this parameter has not been set.
The default setting is the "html_1" directory under the "www" Top Menu directory specified during installation (specifically "/opt/FJSVgrmgr/www/html_1/" for the Solaris OS and Linux versions, and "C:\Program Files\FUJITSU\ETERNUSmgr\www\html_1\" for the Windows® version, if the normal installation
defaults are accepted.). However, if this is likely to overload the file system, consult with the server adm inistrator and change it to a more suitable directory (e.g. "/var/FJSVgrmgr/www/html_1/" for Solaris OS and
Linux, or "D:\ETERNUSmgr\www\html_1\" for Windows®).
[Parameter]
HTML_ALARMFILE_PATH (up to 64 characters)
[Example]
• Changing the Solaris OS and Linux version settings to
"/var/FJSVgrmgr/www/html_1/"

HTML_ALARMFILE_P ATH=D:\ETERNUSmgr\html_1\
P2X0-0202-01EN ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction-
• The alarm history files must be saved in a directory immediately under the directory in
which the ETERNUSmgr Top Menu is installed. When changing the location of the
alarm history file directory, ensure that all the files (index.htm, menu.htm, fujitsu.gif,
eternus.gif) in the parent directory (ETERNUSmgr Top Menu directory) are also
moved to the new parent directory . If using multiple setup files, ensure that any modifications are consistently applied to each setup file. Setup the parent directory of the
alarm history file directory (i.e. the ETERNUSmgr Top Menu directory) as a public
directory on the Web server.
• When monitoring multiple machines, the alarm history files for each should be saved
in a different directory (speci fy di fferent absolute paths in each setup file).
Refer to "2.5 Monitoring Multiple Target Devices" (page 27)
itor multiple target devices.
• When this parameter is changed, it is also necessary to change the alarm file URL in
the top menu file ("menu.htm").
For details on how to make changes to the top menu file, refer to "2.3.1 Target Device
Settings" (page 12).
• If the specified Alarm History Files Directory does not exist, it will automatically be created. It is not necessary to create the directo r y ma nu a l ly.
Specify a URL for HTTP browsing of the Alarm History Files Directory setup in "Alarm History File
Directory" (page 17). The administrator is notified of this URL via E-mail, allowing the alarm history files
to be checked with a Web browser.
This parameter may not be omitted when the E-mail notification function is used (i.e. ADMIN_MAIL
parameter has been set). In this case ETERNUSmgr will not start unless this parameter is set. This parameter may be omitted if the E-mail notification function is not used (i.e. ADMIN_MAIL parameter has not
been set).

value. This parameter is initially commented ou t in the defaul t setup file av ailable aft er installatio n.
2.3.4Alarm Text File Settings
Alarm text files are categorized into the following types:
• Alarm Text Date Files
On any given day, each alarm history message issued for a target device is also added to that day's
alarm text date file. The alarm text date fi les use a stxgrYYYYMMDD.log naming format (e.g.
"stxgr20030101.log").
• Alarm Text Fixed File
A copy of the most recent alarm text date file may also be given an arbitrary name.
Chapter 2 Setup

■Alarm Text Files Directory
Alarm text files are created when this parameter is set.
If only alarm text date files are required, specify an absolute path to the directory in which the alarm text
date files are to be created.
If an alarm text fixed file is also required, specify its name as an absolute path. The alarm text data files
will then be created in the same directory as the alarm text fixed file.
[Parameter]
HTML_ALARMFILE_NAME (up to 64 characters)
[Example]
• Only alarm text date files are to be created in "/opt/FJSVgrmgr/txt_1/":
TEXT_ALARMFILE_NAME = /opt/FJSVgrmgr/txt_1/
• Both the alarm text date files and an alarm text fi xed file named "ETERNUSfix.log" are to
be created in "/opt/FJSVgrmgr/txt_1/":
• When monitoring and generating alarm text files for multiple target devices, set different directories for each device’s alarm text files. See "2.5 Monitoring Multiple Target
Devices" (page 27) for information on how to monitor multiple target devices.

2.3.5Log File Settings
Both ETERNUSmgr and the target devices output information relating to operations and errors in the form
of log files. ETERNUSmgr log files are saved in text format.
This section explains the ETERNUSmgr log settings. Refer to "ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Settings/
Maintenance-" for details on how to collect and view the target device log information.
The following messages are output to the ETERNUSmgr log file. For details on individual log messages,
refer to "6.4 Log Messages" (page 49)
• Startup messages (LOGFILE_MODE=1,2)
Indicates that ETERNUSmgr has started up.
• Parameter information (LOGFILE_MODE=1,2)
Lists the parameters used at startup. Check this section to ensure that ETERNUSmgr is starting up
with the correct parameters from the setup files.
• Polling information (only LOGFILE_MODE=2)
Messages are output each time the system conducts polling. These outputs are logged even if there
are no abnormalities and can be used to check whether the polling operation is working properly or
not.
• Error information (LOGFILE_MODE=1,2)
Information related to any errors that occur in ETERNUSmgr.
Log files can be viewed with a text editor, etc.
The log files are located in the directory specified by the "LOGFILE_ PATH" parameter in the setup file.
The log file names are represented by the character string consisting of "stxpe" + Date + ".log" (e.g.
"stxpe20030101.log"), making it easy to find the log file for a specific date.
.
20
■Log Files Directory
This parameter specifies as an absolute path the directory where the log files are to be kept.
The default if there is no setting is the directory from which the execution control script is started for the
Solaris OS and Linux version and "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\" for the Windows® version.
ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction- P2X0-0202-01EN
Initially, immediately after ETERNUSmgr installation, the setup file should contain a parameter that is set
to the "log_1" directory under the ETERNUSmgr installation directory specified at installation (specifically, "/opt/FJSVgrmgr/log_1/" for the Solaris OS and Linux versions, and "C:\Program
Files\FUJITSU\ETERNUSmgr\log_1" for the Windows® version if the normal installation defaults are
accepted). However, if this is likely to overload the file system, consult with the server administrator and
change it to a more suitable directory (e.g. "/var/FJSVgrmgr/log_1/" for Solaris OS and Linux, or
"D:\ETERNUSmgr\log_1\" for Windows®).
[Parameter]
LOGFILE_PATH (up to 64 characters)
[Example]
• Changing the Solaris OS and Linux version setting to
"var/FJSVgrmgr/log_1":
LOGFILE_PATH=/var/FJSVgrmgr/log_1/

files are not deleted.
[Default value]
7
2
[Parameter]
LOGFILE_DAY (0 ~ 65535 days)
[Example]
To store seven days worth of log files
LOGFILE_DAY=7
Caution:
For this parameter, if there is no need for any special setting, it is recommended not to enter any
value. This parameter is commented out in the default setup file available aft er inst allation.
P2X0-0202-01EN ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction-
The output log file setting has the following modes:
• No log output (LOGFILE_MODE=0)
No logs are output.
In the case where a machine frequently has errors and the source of these errors is clear, a large
number of similar system log events, none of which require any follow-up, can be generated. In
such a case use the "no log" mode to allow the system to run without having to generate the useless
log files.
• Output startup and error information (LOGFILE_MODE=1)
This outputs logs only when ETERNUSmgr starts up and in the event of an error. Use this mode
when space in the log area is restricted.
• Output all log information (LOGFILE_MODE=2)
This mode outputs all possible log information from the startup of ETERNUSmgr. Regardless of
its eventual success or failure, at least one log is generated by each polling event. It is recommended that the system normally be run in this mode.
The output mode is set by modifying the "LOGFILE_MODE" parameter in the setup file ("STX~.INI").
[Default value]
2
[Parameter]
LOGFILE_MODE(0-2)
Caution:
For this parameter, if there is no need for any special setting, it is recommended not to enter any
value. This parameter is commented out in the default setup file available aft er installation.
2.4Modifying the ETERNUSmgr Top Menu System
The ETERNUSmgr Top Menu files are generated automatically when ETERNUSmgr is installed. See the
"ETERNUS8000, ETERNUS4000, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS6000, ETERNUS3000 ETERNUSmgr
Install Guide" of each OS for details of installing ETERNUSmgr.
The ETERNUSmgr Top Menu is written as a typical HTML file, and can easily be edited using a text editor.
Perform the following procedures if the Web server URL and alias set during the installation or the Top
Menu Settings directory need to be changed.
There is no need to copy the files when using the directory specified during the installation as the Top
Menu Settings directory. However, in such case, be sure to make a backup copy of the top menu file
("menu.htm") before editing the original.
Caution:
• ETERNUSmgr reads the Top Menu File ("menu.htm") in, and reoutputs it after adding
the target device status information to it. Therefore, always stop ETERNUSmgr before
making any changes to the base "menu.htm" file.
• The "menu.htm" file must be set to be writable.

2.5Monitoring Multiple Target Devices
This chapter explains how to monitor multiple target devices by creating new setup files and editing the
top menu.
2.5.1Setup File Cautions
To monitor multiple target devices, a new setup file must be created for each target device that is to be
monitored:
The following naming format must be used for the setup files.
Format: STX-.INI
If the file name is other than as specified above, ETERNUSmgr will not be able to detect the file.
The only place setup files should be saved is the installation directory. If a setup file is saved in another
directory, ETERNUSmgr will not be able to find it.
The next time the ETERNUSmgr starts, monitoring of the new target devices will start. To begin monitoring immediately, manually reboot ETERNUSmgr.
2.5.2Creating a Setup File for Each Target Device
For each additional device that is to be monitored, save a renamed copy of the sample setup file (created by
the installation procedure in the Installation Directory) and edit the parameters as necessary for the given
target.
The following example procedures assume that the setup file for device 1 already exists and just creates a
new setup file for device 2.
Caution:
No special text editor is required to edit a setup file.

"_stxpoll.ini" is provided as a model file. If you copy this file to make a new setup file, be sure to
keep the original file as is.
2.5.3Adding the Extra Target Devices to the Top Menu File
When monitoring multiple target devices, edit the Top Menu file as follows.
Note that if the target device is other than ETERNUS2000, each target address must have either
"/login.htm" or "/login_jp.htm" added to the end.
The following example uses a configuration with two ETERNUS3000s and one ETERNUS2000 to show
how the top menu file should be edited to allow all three devices to be monitored. The top menu file should
be edited in the same way when monitoring other devices.
[Example]
• 1st Target Device (ETERNUS3000 #1)
Target Address = http://000.000.000.001
Alarm History Files URL = domain-name/eternusmgr/ETERNUS3000_1
• 2nd Target Device (ETERNUS2000#1)
Target Address = http://000.000.000.002
Alarm History Files URL = domain-name/eternusmgr/ETERNUS2000_1
• 3rd Target Device (ETERNUS3000#2)
Target Address = http://000.000.000.003
Alarm History Files URL = domain-name/eternusmgr/ETERNUS3000_2
• Bold text indicates the portions that have been changed.
• ETERNUSmgr is able to indicate the current status of each target device in the top
menu. This is done using the lines after link to the Alarm History Files Directory. These
lines should not be edited, but may be deleted if target status display is not required.
<!-- Status of 000.000.000.000 -- ><font color="red">(*Offline*)</font>
The "<font color="red">(*Offline*)</font>" portion is dynamically changed
to one of the following by ETERNUSmgr:
This chapter explains how to startup and shutdown ETERNUSmgr.
3.1ETERNUSmgr for Solaris OS and Linux
This section explains how to manually startup and shutdown ETERNUSmgr, for Solaris OS and Linux as
well as how to set ETERNUSmgr for automatic startup.
3.1.1Starting Up ETERNUSmgr
Perform the following to start ETERNUSmgr for Solaris OS and Linux:
rocedure
1Become the superuser.
# su
2Execute the execution control script with the sta rt option:
# /opt/FJSVgrmgr/stxpoll start
3Confirm the daemon is running:
# ps -e | grep stxpolld
999 ? 0:00 stxpolld
After ETERNUSmgr has started up, you need to view the log file to confirm whether or not ETERNUSmgr is in communication with the target device. If using the E-mail notification function, also check
that E-mail notification of ETERNUSmgr startup and changes in the target device states is received.
ETERNUSmgr startup can be confirmed by:
3
• Use the ps command to check that the service is activated.
• Checking the log, and making sure that communication with the target device is normal.
• Checking E-mails, and making sure that communication with the target device is normal
(if the E-mail notification function is used).
When monitoring multiple target devices, you must check each target device separately. For example, if
monitoring three devices, issue the ps command to check that all three devices are activated, and then
browse each of the three logs to make sure that communications with all are normal.
The following message appears when you try to startup ETERNUSmgr by the above procedure and ETERNUSmgr is running already. ETERNUSmgr must be shutdown before it can be started up. For instructions
on how to shut down ETERNUSmgr, refer to "3.1.2 Shutting Down ETERNUSmgr" (page 33)
/opt/FJSVgrmgr/stxpoll: Already running.
*** stxpoll could not start. ***
P2X0-0202-01EN ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction-
As explained in "2.1 Setup files" (page 9) ETERNUSmgr treats any file that conforms to the "STX~.INI"
format as a setup file and loads it accordingly. If ETERNUSmgr detects multiple setup files (for multiple
devices), it will load all of them.
ETERNUSmgr automatically reads the setup file( s) at startup. If it fails to l ocate or read any setu p files, the
following message is displayed and startup is terminated.
stxchk: ETERNUSmgr could not start.
Error detail: No INI file.
*** stxpoll could not start. ***
ETERNUSmgr determines the device that is to be monitored according to the "TARGET_ADDR" parameter specified in the setup file and accesses it accordingly. If a "TARGET_ADDR" parameter is not specified, or if it is incorrect, the following message is displayed and startup is terminated.
stxchk: ETERNUSmgr could not start.
Error detail: Invalid host name was defined at "STXPOLL_1.INI".
Please check "TARGET_ADDR" parameter in this file.
*** stxpoll could not start. ***
Note:
"STXPOLL_1.INI" indicates the name of the setup file in which the error was actually detected.
If ETERNUSmgr detects the "TARGET_ADDR" parameter to be missing, incorrect, or duplicated in multiple setup files, the following message is displayed and startup is terminated.
stxchk: ETERNUSmgr could not start.
Error detail: Invalid host name were defined at following INI files.
Please check "TARGET_ADDR" parameter in these files.
STXPOLL_1.INI
STXPOLL_2.INI
*** stxpoll could not start. ***
Note:
"STXPOLL_1.INI" and "STXPOLL_2.INI" indicate the name of the setup files in which the error
was actually detected.
If any such messages are displayed on the screen when ETERNUSmgr is starting up, check that a setup file
exists and all parameter settings are correct.
In addition, the contents of all the displayed messages are logged in the "stxchk.sts" file stored in the directory in which ETERNUSmgr is installed (this file will be empty if ETERNUSmgr has started up normally).

location will vary according to the run level in use). Therefore, refer to "1.7 Daemon Registration" in the
"ETERNUSmgr Install Guide for Linux" when using Linux operating environments.
Consult with the server administrator before registering the daemon.
■Solaris OE example
rocedure
1Become the superuser.
# su
2Copy the execution control script to the /etc/init.d/ directory:
# cp /opt/FJSVgrmgr/stxpoll /etc/init.d/

3Create a link to the appropriate rc*.d directory:
# ln -s /etc/init.d/stxpoll /etc/rc2.d/Snnstxpoll (nn is a number.)
nn in Snnstxpoll shows the order of priority. Set the priority sequence. Consult with the server administrator before making this setting.
[Example]
# ln -s /etc/init.d/stxpoll /etc/rc2.d/S98stxpoll
From the next startup of Solaris OS and Linux the ETERNUSmgr daemon will start automatically. Refer

Check the log files to see if ETERNUSmgr for Solaris OS and Linux is communicating with the target
devices after automatic startup.
3.2ETERNUSmgr for Windows®
Once installed, ETERNUSmgr for Windows® is registered as a service with the following conditions:
• Service Name: STXPOLL
• Condition: not displayed (=shutdown)
• Startup: automatic
This service will start up automatically the next time the server is started
After installation, certain parameters must be set before you can use ETERNUSmgr. See "Chapter 2
Setup" (page 9) for details on how to perform these settings.
Once the necessary parameters have been set, follow the instructions in "3.2.1 Starting Up ETERNUSmgr"
(page 34) to startup ETERNUSmgr manually.
3.2.1Starting Up ETERNUSmgr
Perform the following to manually startup ETERNUSmgr for Windows®:
rocedure
1Select the [STXPOLL] service from [Services] under [Administrative Tools] on
the [Control Panel], and click the [Start] button.
After ETERNUSmgr has started up, you need to view the log file to confirm whether or not ETERNUSmgr is in communication with the target device. If using the E-mail notification function, also check
that E-mail notification of ETERNUSmgr startup and changes in the target device states is received.
ETERNUSmgr startup can be confirmed by:
• In the control panel or in management tool services, make sure that "STXPOLL" is activated.
• Checking the log, and making sure that communication with the target device is normal.
• Checking any E-mails, and making sure that communication with the target device is normal (if the E-mail notification function is used).
When monitoring multiple target devices, you must check each target separately. For example, if monitoring three devices, browse each of the three logs to make sure that communications with all are normal.
ETERNUSmgr treats any file that conforms to the "STX~.INI" format as a setup file, and loads it accordingly. If ETERNUSmgr detects multiple setup files (for multiple devices) , it will loa d all of them . See "2.1
Setup files" (page 9) for information about setup files.
The setup files are read automatically when ETERNUSmgr is started, but processing stops when the following messages appear.

[Control Panel], and click the [Stop] button.
3.2.3Registering the ETERNUSmgr Service for Automatic Startup
After installation is completed, ETERNUSmgr for Windows® is already registered as an automatic startup
service that will become active the next time the server is rebooted, so there is no need to manually set
ETERNUSmgr for automatic startup.
If, for any reason, the ETERNUSmgr automatic startup setting is disabled, do the following to rest ore it.
This setting will be enabled at the next server reboot.
rocedure
1Select the [STXPOLL] service from [Services] on the [Administrative T ools] of the

Note:
The window is based on the example given in "2.5.3 Adding the Extra Target Devices to the Top
Menu File" (page 29).
● Select RAID Device menu
Click the name of a target device listed in the [Select RAID Device] menu to access the device’s login
screen. For details on how to login, and operation after login, see "ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Settings/Maintenance-".
P2X0-0202-01EN ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction-
Click the name of a target device listed in the [Show hardware error detect log list] menu to get a listing of the target device’s error logs (alarm history files). This will require use of the Web server’s list
display function. Refer to the User's Guide for the Web server being used for more details.
The status of the selected target device appears to the right of its alarm history files link. The various
statuses are described below.
Normal(Black).
Indicates that the machine is operating without any errors.
*Offline*(Red).
Indicates that monitoring of the target device is not possible for one of the
following reasons: the ETERNUSmgr monitoring function is not active (e.g.
immediately after ETERNUSmgr installation), a problem has occurred with
the target device (e.g. power supply shutdown, no response), a problem has
occurred with the communication link between the ETERNUSmgr server
and the target device (e.g. broken wiring, severe delays due to network overload).
The target device status will also be set to "Offline" if the Target Address
(TARGET_ADDR/TARGET_PORT) specified in the setup file is incorrect.
Check that the target device is operating normally, there is no problem with
the network connection, and that the setup file details are correct.
This status will only be detected if a DETECT_OFFLINE=TRUE line is
present in the setup file. If this setting is not present, the machine will not
transition from "Normal" or "ATTENTION" to "Offline".
*ATTENTION*(Red).
Indicates that one or more errors have been detected in the machine.
Login to the machine and check the location of the fault.
*BUSY*(Red).
For ETERNUS4000 models 80 and 100, and ETERNUS3000
Indicates that one of the controllers in the controller enclosure cannot
boot up and needs to be serviced.
For ETERNUS8000, ETERNUS4000 models 300 and 500, ETERNUS2000,
and ETERNUS6000
Indicates that the target device cannot respond due to device stop sta-
tus, abnormality of the communication link between the device and SVP ,
or device boot processing. Check that the target device is operating nor-
mally, and that there is no problem with the communication link between
the device and SVP.
Caution:
The statuses displayed on the top menu reflect the most recent information available at the point of
last reload of the top menu by the Web browser. The actual current status of the target device may
therefore not be displayed until the top menu is reloaded. Always reload the top menu to check the
current target device status. Note that some Web browsers may display a previously cached page
even after the top menu is reloaded. See the manual or online help for your Web browser for
details.
Note that, depending on the browser being used, "Reload" may be expressed as "Refresh," etc.

ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction- P2X0-0202-01EN
This chapter discusses cautions that should be observed when using ETERNUSmgr.
■Solaris OS, Linux, and Windows® Version Cautions
● Failure Notification
• When the administrator is informed by ETERNUSmgr of a failure in a target device, use
the ETERNUSmgr [Device Status Display] screen to find and confirm the status of the
failed component. After confirmation, contact your Fujitsu engineer and pass along this
information.
• Whenever necessary, ETERNUSmgr outputs history HTML files and log files for each
Alarm. If the number of days to keep these files is set too high, or set to "0" (= "do not
delete"), a large number of files may build up over an extended period of use. Have the
administrator decide the appropriate number of days to keep these files.
● Network environment
• Polling and sending of E-mail may be impossible during a network failure on the ETERNUSmgr server due to LAN drop-out and failure of communications equipment (e.g. hubs,
routers). During such failures, the target devices are not monitored, and if the Detect
Offline Targets ("DETECT_OFFLINE") flag is not set, the administrator may be unaware
of the failure. Enable the Detect Offline Targets parameter as necessary, and periodically
check the ETERNUSmgr log file (only for the log acquisition setting).
• ETERNUSmgr may not be able to respond to an event due to a target device or network
overload caused by a device failure. In such a case, refer to "Chapter 3 Startup and
Shutdown" (page 31) and manually restart ETERNUSmgr. Before restarting, make sure
that the network environment is free from any problem.
• If the ETERNUSmgr server’s network settings are not correct, or th ere are hardware failures (LAN omissions, communications device failures, etc.) on the LAN path, it can take
an overly long time to execute polling or send E-mail, making periodic monitoring of target
devices impossible. In particular, in cases where a host name is specif ied for the t a rget
device to be monitored rather than an IP address, and multiple DNS servers are registered for the network, frequent inquiries must be made to the external network to resolve
the host name. This can take from several minutes to tens of minutes when the network is
not working well.
• When it takes an overly long time to execute polling or send E-mail, check that the network devices are operating normally, and that the network settings are correct.
• After rebooting a target device following a failure, etc., make sure that polling is successfully being conducted by checking the log file. If polling is unsuccessful after the target
device has been rebooted (log information is not being output to the log file), refer to
"Chapter 3 Startup and Shutdown" (page 31)
Even after ETERNUSmgr is rebooted, ETERNUSmgr polling requests may still not be
received by the target device (log information indicating polling failure is kept to be output
to the log file). In this case, the ETERNUSmgr monitoring function may not be working
due to network failure. Contact your Fujitsu engineer.
5
and manually reboot ETERNUSmgr.
P2X0-0202-01EN ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction-
• When starting up or rebooting a target device with the ETERNUSmgr already activated
and monitoring the device status, during the first few minutes until the target device is up
and running, ETERNUSmgr will output alarm history messages and E-mails related to the
addition/removal of target device components. These particular messages are output at
startup as the target device tries to recognize its own configuration, and are not error messages.
- An example of a message indicating the addition of a drive enclosure is:
"Increase Drive Enclosure # 12"
- An example of a message indicating the removal of a drive enclosure is:
"Decrease Drive Enclosure # 34"
• If, when monitoring multiple target devices, there is a specification error, such as duplication of information between the multiple setup files, ETERNUSmgr may try to monitor the
same target device using the settings from different setup files and end up displaying an
error message and terminating the process. When th is happens, either delete one of the
duplicate setup files or correct the error in the settings of the files. When looking for errors
in the settings, in addition to verifying the address of the device that is being monitored
("TARGET_ADDR" parameter), make sure that you also check that the Alarm History
Files Directory ("HTML_ALARMFILE_PATH" parameter) and Log Files Directory
("LOGFILE_PATH" parameter) are not duplicated in different setup files. If the values of
these parameters are duplicated in different setup files, ETERNUSmgr will try to create
conflicting log data in the same directory or file.
Refer to "Chapter 2
"ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Settings/Maintenance-" for information on ETERNUSmgr
error messages and the procedures to use when they appear.
• Configuring multiple ETERNUSmgr instances to monitor the same target device may burden the device and overload the connection, resulting in operational errors on the target
device. Be careful not to start up multiple ETERNUSmgr instances to monitor the same
target device (Excluding situations where ETERNUSmgr is installed into both nodes in a
cluster system).
• ETERNUSmgr sends a message to the administrator every time an abnormality is
detected. Be aware that if the Alarm Mailing Interval is too short, an excessive number of
E-mail messages may be sent to the administrator.

● ETERNUSmgr compatibility with GRmgr
• ETERNUSmgr compatibility with GRmgr versions V10L20 and earlier
- The operating logic, data files and log files for GRmgr versions V10L20 or earlier are not compatible with ETERNUSmgr. When upgrading GRmgr version V10L20 or earlier to ETERNUSmgr, uninstall the old GRmgr version before installing ETERNUSmgr. Also, use the new
setup files ("STX - .INI") that are generated when ETERNUSmgr is installed.
- The setup files of V10L20 and earlier are not compatible with ETERNUSmgr, and cannot be
used.
Using these files will cause a "Bad parameter (CODE 913)" error to occur, and targ et device
monitoring stops.
• ETERNUSmgr compatibility with GRmgr versions V10L30 and later (V10L30, V10L40,
V10L50, V10L60)
- ETERNUSmgr is compatible with the operating logic, data files and log files of GRmgr versions V10L30 and later.
- It is possible to use setup files ("STX - .INI") from GRmgr versions V10L30 and later, but the
following procedure must be followed:
1 Move the GRmgr V10L30 (or later) setup files to a temporary location.
2 Uninstall V10L30 (or later) GRmgr.
3 Install ETERNUSmgr.
ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction- P2X0-0202-01EN
4 Delete the setup files from the ETERNUSmgr directory created by the installation
process.
5 Move the GRmgr V10L30 (or later) setup files from their temporary location (step
1) into the ETERNUSmgr directory.
Note that ETERNUSmgr must be installed in the same directory as was used by the previous
version of GRmgr (V10L30, V10L40, V10L50, V10L60). Similarly, the new www files must
be installed in the old www directory, and if the old top menu file ("menu.htm") has been
edited, it should be backed up and used to replace the new version.
- When using a GRmgr V10L30 setup file, append the following Detect Offline Tar gets parameter description to the setup file if you wish to use the offline detection function (available from
GRmgr V10L40 onward).
# Detect Offline status
DETECT_OFFLINE = TRUE
- This flag does not need to be added to the GRmgr V10L30 setup file if the offline detection
function (available from GRmgr V10L40 onward) is not going to be used.
Detect Offline Targets" (page 14) for details of the Detect Offline Targets parameter.
See "
● Setup files
• Always ensure that the ETERNUSmgr setup file’s TARGET_FLAG parameter is correct
for the monitored device type. ETERNUSmgr will be unable to monitor the target device if
this setting is wrong. Note that even if the TARGET_TYPE and the TARGET_FLAG settings are different, ETERNUSmgr operations are not affected.
Any character string may be set in TARGET_TYPE, however it is recommended that the
correct device type ("ETERNUS8000", "ETERNUS4000", "ETERNUS2000",
"ETERNUS6000", "ETERNUS3000", "GR710", "GR720", "GR730", "GR740", "GR820", or
"GR840") be set. The character string in TARGET_TYPE is used when the administrator
is notified by E-mail, and in the alarm history files.
• Edit only the parameters in the ETERNUSmgr setup file which are explained in this docu ment. Do not delete comments or blank lines from the default setup files provided, and do
not add anything other than allowed parameters. Failure to follow these requirements may
result in problems, and prevent future upgrades of ETERNUSmgr. See "Chapter 2
(page 9) for details.

● Install/Uninstall
See the "ETERNUS8000, ETERNUS4000, ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS6000, ETERNUS3000
ETERNUSmgr Install Guide" for details of installing and uninstalling ETERNUSmgr.
P2X0-0202-01EN ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction-
• Uninstallation deletes only those files created and copied during installation. Files (folders, setup files, log files) created after installation by the user and/or ETERNUSmgr are
not deleted. After uninstalling ETERNUSmgr, any remaining files and folders should be
deleted manually. Be careful not to delete folders and files necessary for other software.
• After uninstalling ETERNUSmgr, if you delete or change the name of the original installation directory, a "This may have an effect on the registered application. Are you sure you
want to continue?" message will appear. If uninstallation has completed normally, this will
not be a problem.
● Va rious settings
• Windows® 2000, Windows Server® 2003, and Windows Server® 2003 R2 have an
energy saving mode, but since the ETERNUSmgr monitoring functions are inoperative
when the OS is suspended or sleeping, use of this mode should be avoided.
• With a GRmgr V10L30 or V10L40 setup file, the following parameter descriptions must be
added before the E-mail notification function (available from GRmgr V10L50) can be used
by ETERNUSmgr:
- # Admin Mail Address
ADMIN_MAIL = (Admin Mail Address)
- # Mail Server Address
ADMIN_MAILSV = (Mail Server Address)
- # Mail Server SMTP Port
SMTP_PORT = (Mail Server SMTP Port)
These additions are not necessary if the E-mail notification function is not used.
For details on the above parameters, see "
Address (ETERNUSmgr for Windows® only)" (page 16).
• The Mail Server SMTP Port description must be added when the SMTP port No. is other
than the default (25). For details on the above parameters, see "

This chapter explains the messages and message files of ETERNUSmgr.
Messages are categorized into the following types:
• Alarm History Messages
• Alarm Text Files
• E-mail Messages
• Log Messages
6.1Alarm History Messages
This section explains the alarm history messages generated by ETERNUSmgr.
If, after ETERNUSmgr polls a target device, the current status of the target device differs from the status at
the previous polling operation (i.e. the status of the target device has changed), an ETERNUSmgr alarm
history message is issued and saved in an alarm history file. If ETERNUSmgr detects that the target device
is offline, an alarm history file is not created.
The alarm history file is saved using the following file naming convention in the directory specified in the
setup file. See "Alarm History File Directory" (page 17)
6
for more information about the setup files.
YYYYMMDDHHmmSSn.html
YYYY: Year
MM: Month
DD: Day
HH: Hour
mm: Minute
SS: Second
n: Sequence number
For example, the alarm history file "200301011020300.htm" was created on January 1st 2003 at 10:20:30.
The sequence number is normally 0, but is used to number files sequentially if multiple files are created
within the same second.
An alarm history file is created when a change in the target device status is detected while ETERNUSmgr
is polling the target device. Alarm history files are automatically deleted when they are older than the limit
specified in the setup file. See "
mation about the setup files.
Alarm history files are in HTML format for viewing in a Web browser.
Alarm history files are displayed as follows in the Web browser.
Example Alarm History File
The following alarm history file was created on January 1st 2003 for an ETERNUS3000 with the target address 10.20.30.40.

The "alarm history messages" shown above indicate the status results obtained from the target device.
The following message is output when all components of the target device are normal.
"No hardware error detected."
If target device monitoring does not work properly (due to LAN drop-out, failure on the network path, or
incorrect target address setting, etc.), and the Detect Offline Targets parameter has been set, the following
message will be output.
"No hardware report detected. (Offline)"
See "6.3 E-mail Messages" (page 47), "Hardware Status was changed. See below ..." for details of the messages displayed in the alarm history file.
Note that "Hardware Status was changed. See below ..." is not an actual alarm history message.
6.2Alarm Text Files
This section explains the alarm text files that are generated by ETERNUSmgr.
Alarm text files are a compilation of the alarm history messages for a single day in a text format. See "6.1
Alarm History Messages" (page 45) for more information on the alarm history messages.
Alarm text files are categorized into the following types:
• Alarm Text Date Files
Contains the individual alarm history messages that record the ongoing status of the target device, collected on a day-by-day basis.
• Alarm Text Fixed File
Contains the same alarm history messages as the latest alarm text date file, saved under
a settable name.
■Alarm Text Date Files
The alarm text date file is saved in the directory specified in the setup file using the following file naming
convention. See "2.3.4
stxgrYYYYMMDD.log
YYYY: Year
MM: Month
DD: Day
