Using Email Alerts to Monitor Server Status
Note: Only BlackArmor administrators can set up email alerts.
You can use BlackArmor Manager to notify you by email when the status of the server
changes or when a server setting is modified. You can set BlackArmor Manager to send
email alerts to up to five people. You must have a Seagate Global Access account to receive
email messages.
To set up email alerts, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 19). Email alerts are in the
System menu. For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor Manager, refer to the
online Help.
Checking Disk Drive Status Using SMART
Note: Only BlackArmor administrators can complete a SMART diagnosis.
You can use BlackArmor Manager to perform SMART diagnoses on the server’s disk drive.
SMART stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology, a technology built into
disk drives that let them automatically monitor their own health and report on possible
problems.
Running a SMART diagnosis on the server’s disk drive on a regular basis can help prevent
disk drive failure by catching potential problems early. Because only disk drives that support
SMART can be tested with BlackArmor Manager, ensure that you always use SMART disk
drives in the server.
To run a SMART diagnosis, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 19). SMART tests are in
the System menu. For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor Manager, refer to the
online Help.
