Alert type
Description
Visual notification
Displays informational pop-up messages when users log in to the interface and in real-time to
indicate when alert conditions occur. Pop-ups provide basic information about the alert condition.

.
Note
Storage system visual alert notifications are not configurable. Also, the storage system does not
have an option of authentication to an SMTP mail server. If your mail server requires all clients to
authenticate to relay an email, the storage system cannot send email alerts through that mail server.
Email notification
Enables you to specify one or more email addresses to which to send alert messages. You can
configure the following settings:
l
Email addresses to which to send storage system alerts.
l
Severity level (critical, error, warning, notice, or information) required for email notification.
Note
For storage system alert email notification to work, you must configure a target SMTP server for the
storage system.
SNMP traps
Transfer alert information to designated hosts (trap destinations) that act as repositories for
generated alert information by the storage network system. You can configure SNMP traps through
Unisphere. Settings include:
l
IP address of a network SNMP trap destination
l
Optional security settings for trap data transmission
n
Authentication protocol: Hashing algorithm used for SNMP traps (SHA or MD5)
n
Privacy protocol: Encryption algorithm used for SNMP traps (DES, AES, AES192, or
AES256)
The Unisphere Online Help provides more information.
EMC Secure Remote
Services (ESRS)
ESRS provides an IP-based connection that enables EMC Support to receive error files and alert
messages from your storage system, and to perform remote troubleshooting resulting in a fast and
efficient time to resolution.
Note
Available with operating environment (OE) version 4.0 or later. For ESRS to work, you must enable it
