Devices tree: Server and network device properties

SAV displays property information about servers, network devices, and the connections between them:

Server properties

The Properties Pane for a server displays the following information:

  • Name: The host name of the server.
  • Server ID: The SA unique identifier for the server.
  • Operating System: The operating system of the server.
  • Kernel: The kernel version of the operating system (when applicable).
  • Agent Version: The version of the Server Agent that enables the server to be managed and scanned.
  • Last Reported Time: The most recent time that the Server Agent communicated with the SA core.
  • Uptime: The length of time the server has been powered on.
  • Codeset: The character encoding for the server’s locale.
  • Users: The number of users that are currently logged in.
  • Load averages: 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute load averages. The load average for servers running a Windows operating system displays unknown because it is not supported by Microsoft.
  • Memory usage: The total free memory.
  • Swap usage: The total used swap and swap in/out activity.
  • DNS Servers: All configured DNS servers for the selected server.
  • Virtual Machines/Zones: If the selected server is a hypervisor (Solaris Global Zone or VMware ESX server), you can expand the list and view all zones (Solaris) virtual machines (VMware ESX). Each virtual machine or zone will display its own server properties. For more information, see Virtual server properties.
  • Routes: All configured static routes on the selected server.
  • Interfaces: The number of network interfaces. For each interface on a server, the following information is displayed:
    • MAC address
    • Broadcast address
    • Subnet mask
    • Device
  • FCAs: All Fibre Channel Adapters (HBAs) installed on the selected server.
  • File systems: All files systems in use on the selected server. For each file system, properties include: drive letter, mount point, mount options, type of file system, logical block device used by the file system, amount of free space, percent used, and associated device for each file system.
  • Disks: All physical disks installed on the selected server.

If you have added a server to SAV but have not yet refreshed the Snapshot, the server will appeared grayed out in the maps and in the Devices tab. The properties information will be blank until you initiate a refresh.

DNS servers properties

DNS Server properties contain the following information:

  • Name: Name of the DNS Server.
  • IP Address: IP address of the DNS Server.
  • Servers: Provides server properties for each server using this DNS server.

Properties for servers and devices with compliance policies

For servers or network devices that have compliance policies associated with them (Software, AppConfig, Patch, Audit, Duplex), the server’s properties shows a rollup compliance status for all attached policies. You can expand the compliance list to view each individual compliance policy attached to the server.

Each compliance category displays one of the following compliance statuses:

  • Compliant : The compliance scan ran successfully and the actual server or device configuration matches the criteria defined in the policy.
  • Partial : The compliance scan ran successfully, but the server or device configuration did not fully pass the compliance criteria defined in the policy.
  • Noncompliant : The compliance scan ran and the actual server or device configuration did not match the criteria defined in the policy.
  • Scan Failure : The compliance scan was unable to run.
  • Scan Needed : The results are unavailable, perhaps because a compliance scan was never run (for example, on a new installation), or the configuration on the server changed since the last time information was reported to the Compliance dashboard.
  • Scanning : The compliance scan currently being run.

You can launch the Device Explorer or remote terminal in the SA Client to view and remediate any compliance discrepancies by clicking on a compliance status link in the properties window. For NA-enabled cores, clicking a compliance status link launches the NA Web interface.

For information on launching a Device Explorer, remote terminal, or global shell, see Adding and removing devices in SAV.

The figure below shows a server’s properties and lists compliance information about the server. Note that when any compliance policy on the server is non-compliant, then the main compliance policies row shows a non-compliant status.

A SAV snapshot is not the same thing as a compliance scan, but they are related. A compliance scan can be run from the SA Client or the NA Client and checks a server or device’s compliance status and reports this information to the Compliance Dashboard inside of the SA Client (and by extension, a server’s properties in SAV), or to the Policy Compliance page in the NA Client user interface.

The actual compliance state you are viewing in SAV may have changed since you last scanned the server or device. To get the most current information, click Refresh Snapshot on the SAV tool bar. For more information on compliance, see the SA Administer section.

Virtual server properties

The properties of a virtual server display all the same information as a physical server except that VMware and Solaris 10 hypervisors show all hosted virtual servers. VMware ESXi hypervisor servers will not display in the Tiers Tree, although the VMs hosted on the servers may be displayed here. You can expand each hosted virtual server and view its properties. Conversely, each virtual server will contain in its properties the hypervisor that is hosting it.

Link properties for servers and network devices

The Properties Pane for links between servers, external connections, and network devices displays the following information:

  • Protocol: The TCP or UDP.
  • Port: The destination port that is associated with this link.
  • Connections: The number of connections associated with this link. For each connection, the following information is displayed:
    • End points: The process families (if known). IP addresses (if unknown).
    • Ephemeral port number: A random port that is assigned by the operating system.

    Replication

    • Replication Type: The type of replication for this selected storage array.
    • Copy Type: Replication copy type.
    • Status: Status of the volume replicator.
    • Source: Source volume of the replication.
    • Target: Target volume of the replication.

    Layer 1 link properties

    Layer 1 Link properties represents the physical connection between devices and contains the following information:

    • Eff. Duplex: Effective duplex between the two devices. The duplex represented is the actual duplex. If SAV cannot determine the duplex, then it will use the configured duplex.
    • Eff. Speed: Effective speed between the two devices. The speed represented is the actual speed. If SAV cannot determine the speed, then it will use the configured port speed.
    • Port:
      • Name: Name configured for the port.
