Configuring Alert Notifications

The MD Storage Manager can send an alert for any condition on the storage array that requires your
attention. Alerts can be sent as e-mail messages or as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap
messages. You can configure alert notifications either for all the storage arrays or a single storage array.

To configure alert notifications:

1.

For all storage arrays, in the EMW:
a) Select the Setup tab.
b) Select Configure Alerts.
c) Select All storage arrays.
d) Click OK.

The Configure Alerts dialog is displayed.

2. For a single storage array:

a) Select the Devices tab.
b) Select the relevant storage array, then select Edit → Configure Alerts.

The Configure Alerts dialog is displayed.
