Storage Controller Health monitor uses SNMP to communicate with and determine if a node within the selected storage device is operational. The success or failure of the monitor is dependent upon values returned by the device that can be interpreted by WhatsUp Gold as up or down.
To configure, simply provide a unique name and description for the monitor. You can also set the SNMP timeout and number of retries as well as enable Use in Rescan if desired.
Note: You must install the SMI-S agent to successfully monitor storage devices using WhatsUp Gold. Please see Installing the SMI-S Agent for additional information.
