Hello, I didn't get too many responses on this. I did find out from Sun that the SMART/PFA feature is supported in RM 6.22 and 6.22.1. I also found out that in order to to utilize the SMART support, you have to have SNMP setup and configured. I'm still not 100% clear as to what types of messages you would see if you setup SMART/PFA, as opposed to the emails that RM sends out when an event occurs, like when a battery or disk dies. I still don't know of huge benefits between RM 6.22 and 6.22.1, other than 6.22.1 is needed if you are running Solaris 9. Thanks, Nicole Original Message --------------------- Hi, I have an E450 running Solaris 8 with an A3500 array. I'm concidering upgrading the Raid Manager software from 6.22 to 6.22.1. I don't see any huge benefits gained by going to 6.22.1, but I did see that it has support for SMART/PFA (Self-Montoring Analysys and Reporting Technology/Predictive Failure Analysis) which would be helpful. Does anyone have any experience with this? Do you need to install extra software to utilize the SMART support? ARe there any websites that have helpful information about SMART and Raid Manager? I'm not familiar with it and I'de hate to go thru the trouble of upgrading and then not be able to utilize the feature. Thanks, Nicole Skyrca _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Jul 16 11:33:28 2003
