v Email
You can choose one or both notification methods.
When you choose to have your storage complex generate SNMP traps, you can
monitor the storage complex over your network. You can control whether
management information base (MIB) information is accessible and what type of
SNMP traps to send. You can also specify the maximum number of traps sent for
each event and where to send the traps.
Notes:
1. If you have open-systems hosts and remote mirror and copy functions,
you must enable SNMP notifications for status reporting.
2.
If you plan to use advanced functions SNMP messaging, you must set
those functions using DS CLI.
When you choose to enable email notifications, email messages are sent to all the
email addresses that you specify on the work sheet when the storage complex
encounters a serviceable event or must alert you to other information.
You must complete the work sheet for all installations that include a management
console. See “SNMP trap notification work sheet” on page 211 and “Email
notification work sheet” on page 212.
Power control settings
The power control work sheet enables you to select and control the various power
modes for the storage complex.
If you use the remote System z power control feature, you must specify that on the
power control work sheet, so the power mode can be set up to support that
feature.
You can also specify whether power turns on and off automatically or uses a
schedule. If you want to use a scheduled power mode, you must enter the
schedule on the work sheet.
You must complete this work sheet for all installations . See Appendix G, “Power
control work sheet,” on page 215.
Control switch settings
Control switch settings allow you to specify certain DS8000 series settings that
affect host connectivity. You are asked to enter these choices on the control switch
settings work sheet so that your IBM service representative can set them during
the installation of your DS8000 series model.
The following control switches are set using the choices you specify on the control
settings work sheet. For additional details and SIM severity information, or to
specify your choices, see the Appendix H, “Control switch settings work sheet,” on
page 217.
