Changing Expansion Enclosure ID Numbers

When an MD1000 expansion enclosure is attached to an MD3000/MD3000i

storage array for the first time, an enclosure ID number is assigned and

maintained by the MD1000. This enclosure ID number is also shown in the

MD Storage Manager, but it is not an indicator of the enclosure’s physical

location. It may appear that MD Storage Manager is reporting the expansion

enclosures in improper order.
You can change the enclosure ID numbers in the MD Storage Manager by

clicking the Tools menu and then clicking Change Enclosures ID Numbers.

Any ID number you assign will not conflict with the enclosure IDs.

Configuring Alert Notifications

MD Storage Manager can send an alert for any condition on the storage array

that requires your attention, such as the failure of a storage array component or

the occurrence of an adverse environmental condition. Alerts can be sent as

e-mail messages or as SNMP messages.
You can verify whether alerts are currently set by looking at the Alert status

line in the Status area of the Summary tab.

Configuring E-mail Alerts

To configure e-mail alerts, click the Tools tab and then click Set up e-mail

alerts. The Content Area displays two links: Configure Sender E-mail

Settings and Add or Edit E-mail Addresses.

NOTE:

These settings apply to all storage arrays currently managed by the

management station.
