Note: The agent also is responsible for notifying the ServerNet Manager of asynchronous events that occur on the ServerNet SAN or SPA, such as when a path fails (becomes disabled). These asynchronous events are reported when the manager polls the agent.
The ServerNet Manager update period is the amount of time between successive
requests to the agent for the ServerNet SAN/SPA information. The manager
update period must be equal to or greater than the agent update period
to guarantee that the data from the agent has been updated since the last
request (poll) by the manager.

sessions if the This Session Only checkbox is not checked.
