Apple Xsan 1.4 - Manual (Page 138)

138 Chapter 6 Monitoring SAN Status
Setting Up Status Notifications
Xsan can send an email or dial a pager to notify you or other administrators when:
 A controller switches to its backup
 A Fibre Channel connection fails
 Free space on a volume falls below a specific percentage
 A user or group exceeds the designated soft quota
 A serial number is about to expire
To send email notifications outside the local network, the controller needs access to an
SMTP server.
To have Xsan send status notifications:
1 Open Xsan Admin, select a SAN in the SAN Components list, click Setup, and click
Notifications.
2 Click the Add (+) button to add an email address or pager number to the list of
contacts.
3 Double-click the new entry in the list, type an email address or the address of a pager
text-messaging account, and press Return.
4 If the entry is for a pager, select the checkbox in the Page column.
5 Choose the conditions that cause a notification to be sent (next to “Notify if”).
6 Click SMTP Info to enter a sender name and the mail server address.
7 Click Save.
8 To test, select an address and click Send Test Notification.
