Can the DFM alarm or event triggered for another action or script to run?

[tatlee]

Hi,

Just want to know if the DFM has the function to start another action or running a script once an event or alarm has been trigged?

Just an example, say if a snapmirror break event trigged in the DFM, can it enable another action or script to re-establish the snapmirror automatically?

Regards,

Terrence

Hi Terrence,

Yes, It is possible. DFM supports this.

Refer the FAQ 7.4 & 7.5 at http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/DFM_win/rel40/html/faq/index.shtml

Hi all,

A DFM Alarm set for an event can initiate or trigger running a script when the condition is met.

Hi There,

By looking into the FAQ, it should be evident that you’d be using the DFM CLI to associate a script to a DFM alarm. Make sure you test the alarm to ensure that the script is being executed when the alarm is triggered

dfm alarm test <alarm id>

(Note: If you don’t know the ID – type the command “dfm alarm list”)

If the script doesn’t execute then try the following: add the appropriate switches for authenticating the execution of the script:

dfm alarm modify -A <admin-login-name>  –u <AlarmScriptRunAs> -s <Path of the script>

Hope this helps.

Thanks and regards

This is a simple functionality from command line that should be brought into the GUI in a future release.  I'll see if an RFE for this is already filed.
