Chapter 9: Monitoring Status and Activity ● 111 Notifying Users by Email About Status and Activity You can set up Adaptec Storage Manager to send email messages (or notifications) to a selected email address when an event, such as the creation of a pool or the failure of a disk drive, occurs on a system. Email notifications can help you monitor activity on your entire storage space from any location, and are especially useful in storage spaces that include multiple systems running the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent only. Only the users you specify receive email notifications. You can specify which types of events generate email messages (Error, Informational, Warning). You can also specify if you want to be notified instantly when an event occurs to ensure that urgent issues receive immediate attention from the right people. Alternatively, you can specify that you want events "coalesced" and receive only one email message for each event type. Follow the instructions in this section to: ● Set up email notifications (see page 111). ● Send a test email (see page 113). ● Modify a recipient's information or remove a recipient (see page 114). ● Modify email settings (see page 114). ● Disable email notifications (see page 115). Setting Up Email Notifications This section describes how to set up email notifications for one system. If you want to monitor multiple systems by email, you must complete the tasks in this section for each one separately. Before you begin, note this information: ● The address of your Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server (host name and domain, or TCP/IP address) ● The name and email address of the person who will receive email notifications To set up email notifications: 1 In the Enterprise View, select the system you want. 2 In the Adaptec Storage Manager tool bar, click Configure, point to the system, then click Email Notifications.
