Configuring a Storage Array

57

By default, all alert configuration settings are None.

The following example shows how to set the mail server IP and the sender
address configurations for SMTP alerts:

SMcli -m

123.45.67.89

-F

[email protected]

or

SMcli -m

MyCompany.com

-F

[email protected]

An example of a command to set the email alert destination and specify that
only event information is to be sent is:

SMcli -a email:

[email protected]

123.45.67.89

-I eventOnly

The following example shows how to set the SNMP trap alert configuration.
In this example, the trap destination is 123.45.67.891. The storage array is
123.45.67.892, and the community name is public.

SMcli -a trap:public, 123.45.67.891 123.45.67.892

Setting the RAID Controller Module Clocks

To synchronize the clocks on the RAID controller modules with the host, use
the set storageArray time command. Running this command helps ensure
that event timestamps written by RAID controller modules to the Major
Event Log (MEL) match event timestamps written to the host log files. The
RAID controller modules remain available during synchronization. An
example of the command is:

client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "set storageArray

time;"

Setting the Storage Array Host Type

The set storageArray command enables you to define the default host type.
The following syntax is the general form of the command:

set storageArray defaultHostType=(

hostTypeName

|

hostTypeIdentifier

)
