comma-separated list of e-mail addresses, and then click OK.

meanings of the severity levels vary. It is best to view the description of the event.
• Unknown - The severity level is not known.
• Informational - An example of an informational event is a progress report event for
firmware download operation currently in progress.
• Warning - An example of a warning is one or more new physical fabric objects (device
port, switch, or fabric) have appeared.
• Minor - An example of a minor event is a physical fabric object (switch port or fabric) has
changed state.
• Major - An example of a major event is one or more physical fabric objects (device port,
switch, or fabric) have disappeared.

download and the failure reason code for each respective switch.
After you select an event level, click OK.
• Execute a Custom Command - Policy Manager executes a custom command on the
management server when the condition is fulfilled. Type a command that will execute the
script in the field. Then, click OK. The software assumes you are in the
%JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\remotescripts directory on the management
server when the script is executed. You can use environment variables in your script, such as
POLICY_NAME and POLICY_DESCRIPTION. POLICY_NAME. POLICY_NAME provides
the policy name and POLICY_DESCRIPTION provides the policy description. See
” Software Environment Variables for Scripting ” on page 304 for more information.
Prefix the command with “start” if the custom command triggers a user interface component,
such as a program that uses the user interface (Example: Microsoft Internet Explorer) or a
command prompt window.
For example, assume you want the custom command to open a command prompt window
and list the contents in the directory. You would prefix the command with start as shown
below:
start dir
