If required, verify if the e-mail is sent successfully:
•
Provide an SMTP mail server name and an e-mail sender address for the e-mail addresses to work.
•
Ensure that the e-mail addresses that you had previously configured appear in the
Configured e-mail addresses
area.
•
Use fully qualified e-mail addresses; for example, [email protected].
•
Configure multiple e-mail addresses before you click

Configuring SNMP alerts
You can configure SNMP alerts that originate from:
•
The storage array
•
The event monitor

Open the
Configure Alerts
dialog by performing one of these actions in the EMW:
•
On the
Devices
tab, select a node and then on the menu bar, select
Edit
>
Configure Alerts.
Go to step 3.
NOTE:
This option enables you to set up alerts for all the storage arrays connected to the host.
•
On the
Setup
, select
Configure Alerts
. Go to step 2.

Select one of the following options to specify an alert level:
•
All storage arrays
— Select this option to send an alert notification about events on all storage arrays.
•
An individual storage array
— Select this option to send an alert notification about events that occur in only a specified storage
array.
These results occur, depending on your selection:
•
If you selected
All storage arrays
, the
Configure Alerts
dialog is displayed.
•
If you selected
An individual storage array
, the
Select Storage Array
dialog is displayed. Select the storage array for which you
want to receive alert notifications and click
OK
. The
Configure Alerts
dialog is displayed.
NOTE:
If you do not know location of the selected storage array, click Blink to turn on the LEDs of the storage array.

Creating SNMP alert notifications—originating from the event monitor
The MD storage management software can notify you when the status of a storage array or one of its components changes. This is called
an alert notification. You can receive alert notifications by three different methods: email, SNMP traps originating from the storage
management station where the event monitor is installed, and SNMP traps originating from the storage array (if available). This topic
describes how to create SNMP traps originating from the event monitor.
To configure an SNMP alert notification originating from the event monitor, you specify the community name and the trap destination. The
community name is a string that identifies a known set of network management stations and is set by the network administrator. The trap
destination is the IP address or the host name of a computer running an SNMP service. At a minimum, the trap destination is the network
management station.
Keep these guidelines in mind when configuring an SNMP alert notification:
•
Host destinations for SNMP traps must be running an SNMP service so that the trap information can be processed.
•
To set up alert notifications using SNMP traps, you must copy and compile a management information base (MIB) file on the
designated network management stations.
•
Global settings are not required for the SNMP trap messages. Trap messages sent to a network management station or other SNMP
servers are standard network traffic, and a system administrator or network administrator handles the security issues.
