Overview
========
PrimeAlert for Network Appliance monitors the health and resources of
Network Appliances with a software release after ONTAP 6.0. Each module
instance monitors the status, statistics, and configuration information of
a single storage system. Multiple storage systems may be monitored by
loading multiple instances of this module.
This module allows the local Sun MC/PrimeAlert agent to act as a proxy
agent for the SNMP agent running on the Network Appliance being monitored;
thus, in the Sun MC console, each instance of PrimeAlert for Network
Appliance is located within the Remote Systems section of the Host Details
view of the proxy host upon which the module is loaded.
