3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide
Managing E-mail Event Notification
3DM can notify you when the 3ware RAID controller requires attention, such
as when a disk unit becomes degraded and is no longer fault tolerant.
Event notification can only occur while 3DM is running, so it is
recommended that 3DM be left running on the system that contains the 3ware
RAID controller.
When events occur, notification can be e-mailed to one or more recipients.
You can specify the type of events for which notifications will be sent by
selecting the severity:
■
Information
will send e-mails for all alarms
■
Warning
will send e-mail for alarms with severity of Warning and Error
only.
■
Error
will send e-mail for alarms with severity of Error only.
For more information about events and alarms, see “Viewing Alarms” on
page 107.
Event notification is initially set up during 3DM installation, but can be
changed on the 3DM Settings page.
