Event notification
The Management application records the SAN and IP events in the Master Log. You can configure
the application to send event notifications to e-mail addresses at certain time intervals. This is a
convenient way to keep track of events that occur on the SAN and IP networks. You can also
configure products to “call home” for certain events, notifying the service center of product
problems. For instructions about configuring call home for events, refer to
“Call Home” on
page 167.
Configuring e-mail notification
To send e-mail notification of events to users, complete the following steps.
1. Select Monitor > Event Notification > E-mail.
