v Configure the Email Notification Manager
The Email Notification Manager is enabled by default. To disable the Email
Notification Manager, click Actions → Disable Email Notifications . If you disable
the Email Notification Manager, events are generated but users do not receive
e-mail notification when the events occur.
An example
You install SystemA in a lab with a ServeRAID Manager subsystem. You run the
ServeRAID Manager on SystemA to monitor for events and problems. You want to
monitor SystemA from your workstation but do not have ServeRAID Manager
installed. You open the SystemA Email Notification Manager from the ServeRAID
Manager and add your name and e-mail address to the e-mail notification list. You
are notified by e-mail of all problems and events that occur on SystemA.
The Email Notification Manager and its events
Events monitored by the Email Notification Manager include the following:
v Progress information, such as rebuilds, synchronizations, and migrations.
v Problems, such as defunct physical drives and PFA errors.
v Changes to the local configuration, such as creating a hot-spare drive or defining
a logical drive.
Each
event has an event type indicating its severity: error, warning, or
informational. You can configure a recipient to be notified of errors, errors and
warnings, or errors, warnings, and informational events.
When an event is generated on a system, the Email Notification Manager attempts
to send a message to each recipient in the email notification list. If the Email
Notification Manager successfully sends the message, it updates the ″ Last message
sent″ column in the email notification list. If the Email Notification Manager does
not successfully connect or send the message, the Email Notification Manager:
v Updates the ″Last message sent″ column with a
notifying you of a problem.
v Logs an event in the Email Notification Manager event viewer detailing why the
message could not be sent.
The
Email Notification Manager interface
The Email Notification Manager consists of the following:
Toolbar
Provides quick-path icons for common tasks.
Email notification list
Displays the recipients configured to receive e-mail notifications.
Email notification event viewer
Displays status information for the Email Notification Manager.
In addition to displaying the events in the event viewer, the Email
Notification Manager appends each event to a logging file,
RAIDSMTP.LOG. If this file exceeds 200 KB, the ServeRAID Manager
copies the file to RAIDSMTP.OLD and creates a new RAIDSMTP.LOG. If
there is a RAIDSMTP.OLD already, the ServeRAID Manager overwrites it.
The Email Notification Manager appends SMTP transport errors in a
separate log file, SMTPERR.LOG.
