Monitoring pair statuses using alerts
You can monitor pair statuses using alerts. Alerts can be sent when a specific copy pair enters a preset
status. Alert conditions can be specified for an individual copy pair or for a copy group. For example,
you can specify an alert is sent when a given error status is detected. In this case, an alert is sent
when any of the copy pairs belonging to the copy group enters the error status.
TIP:
Because you can receive alerts by way of email or SNMP traps, you can also monitor the replication
environment without being logged on to Replication Manager.
