Configure Alerts
The IBM System Storage DS3000 Manager includes the Event Monitor Service, which
enables the host running this monitor to send out alerts via e-mail (SMTP) or traps (SNMP).
The Event Monitor can be used to alert you of critical events for any of the DS3000 storage
subsystems in your environment. For high availability, the event monitor service should run on
two separate host systems that are available 24 hours a day. Both servers should be capable
of out-of-band and in-band management. This ensures proper alerting, even if one server is
down or a connection type has failed.
What systems are monitored?
Depending on how you setup alerts, different storage systems are monitored by the Event
Monitor:
– To configure alerts for all storage systems listed in the Enterprise Management
Window, right click your local management system in the Enterprise Management
Window (at the top of the tree) and choose Configure Alerts, as in Figure 7-9.
Note: The DS3000 does not send the e-mail or SNMP trap itself. The management station
(running the event monitor service) sends the notification on behalf of the storage server. If
the management station is down, no alerting will be done.
