Setting Up E-mail Notifications
You can set up notifications in the LMC so that the library automatically
sends an e-mail message to specified e-mail addresses whenever an
issue of a particular severity level occurs. The information in the e-mail
notification provides details about the issue and the library conditions at
the time of the error.
Note: Before you set up notifications, you must configure e-mail in
the LMC so that the library can send notifications to the
recipients. See Configuring E-mail on page 187.
Table 28 describes the severity levels for which the library can send
notifications if e-mail addresses are set up appropriately to receive
them.
Table 28 Severity Levels
Assigned to Issues
Severity Level Description
1 (Failed) Indicates that a failure has occurred or a different serious condition exists within a
library subsystem that requires immediate corrective action. In most cases, a
hardware component is no longer functioning at an acceptable level or has failed.
Typical library operations are either impossible or highly unreliable.
Examples of failure situations include a FRU that is not functioning, a temperature
threshold that has been reached that causes unreliable operations, or a partition
that the library has automatically taken offline.
2 (Degraded) Indicates that a degraded condition exists within a library subsystem that impacts
system performance or redundancy. Typical library operations can continue
without immediate corrective action, but an administrator should investigate the
condition and correct the problem soon.
Examples of degraded situations include a redundant power supply that has failed
or a connectivity problem that has caused host port failover to occur.
