Communication-failure SNMP trap descriptions

Edit online

SNMP traps are sent during communication failures. These alerts are sent by both the active and standby management servers.

Communication-failure SNMP traps are sent after the following events occur:
  • A server times out attempting to communicate with a storage system.
  • A server encounters errors attempting to communicate with a storage system.
  • An active server terminates communication with a standby server as a result of communication errors.
  • A standby encounters communication errors with an active server.

After an SNMP trap for a given failure is sent, it is not resent unless communication has been reestablished and failed again.
