Servers and Storage Resource agents Administer servers and the Storage Resource agents that collect asset, status, and file system information about servers. Fixing deploymentsUse the Servers page to monitor servers that are added to IBM Spectrum® Control by deploying a Storage Resource agent. You can identify agents that failed to deploy, investigate and resolve the problems that caused the deployment failure, and deploy the agents again.Canceling deploymentsUse the Servers page to cancel the deployment of Storage Resource agents. Modifying deployment schedulesUse the Servers page to modify deployment schedules for Storage Resource agents. Viewing information about Storage Resource agentsView detailed information about the Storage Resource agents that are deployed on monitored resources.Viewing Storage Resource agent log filesThe log files for a Storage Resource agent contain informational, warning, and error messages for the actions that were taken by the agent. You can use the content of the log files to troubleshoot any errors that might occur when a Storage Resource agent is started, processing data, or shut down.Disabling Storage Resource agentsDisable Storage Resource agents so that they no longer collect data or run IBM Spectrum® Control jobs.Enabling Storage Resource agentsYou can enable Storage Resource agents that are in a Disabled or Down state. After an agent is enabled, the IBM Spectrum® Control server resumes communication with that agent.Testing the connection with a Storage Resource agentVerify that the IBM Spectrum® Control server can communicate with the server where a Storage Resource agent is deployed.Changing credentials for Storage Resource agentsYou can change Storage Resource agent credentials, such as the user name and password that IBM Spectrum® Control uses for logging on to the server where the agent is deployed.Collecting service dataCollect service data about the selected Storage Resource agent. Service data includes diagnostic information such as logs, trace files, configuration information, and computer details. Use this information to troubleshoot any errors that might occur during startup, processing, or shutdown of a Storage Resource agent. Enabling or disabling scripts for Storage Resource agentsYou can enable or disable scripts that are sent from the IBM Spectrum® Control server to Storage Resource agents.Enabling or disabling the monitoring of fabrics by Storage Resource agentsYou can enable or disable fabric monitoring by Storage Resource agents. Fabric monitoring is enabled by default. When you enable fabric monitoring, the agent collects information about fabrics that the server is connected to.Using the help command for Storage Resource agentsThe help command for Storage Resource agents provides information about the parameters for installing, uninstalling, and upgrading Storage Resource agents.Removing serversYou can remove servers that you no longer want to monitor with IBM Spectrum® Control. Registering a Storage Resource agent with a different IBM Spectrum Control serverYou can register a Storage Resource agent with a different IBM Spectrum® Control server.Manually changing the Windows service logonChange the Windows™ service logon for a Storage Resource agent.
