Email alert notification
When a failure occurs in an AMS 2100/2300 and error monitoring is
enabled, the Navigator 2 email alert feature sends email messages
containing failure information to up to three previously registered email
addresses when a failure has occurred in the array. The email alert feature
detects failures at the instant they happen, and immediately sends failure
notices to the designated recipients.
If the subsystem goes down due to a power outage or battery failure, the
email settings return to their default settings. Therefore, check and
reconfigure the e-mail setting after recovering the array from such failures.
For more information about the e-mail Alert function, refer to Help in the
Hitachi Storage Navigator Modular 2.
The email alert feature is explained in detail in the Navigator 2 online help
system. Figure 1-7 shows an example of system construction of the email
alert feature.
