3ware Disk Manager (3DM 2)

Managing E-mail Event Notification

3DM can notify you when the 3ware RAID controller requires attention, such as when a disk unit becomes degraded and is no longer fault tolerant.

Event notification can only occur while 3DM is running, so it is recommended that 3DM be left running on the system that contains the 3ware RAID controller.

When events occur, notification can be e-mailed to one or more recipients. You can specify the type of events for which notifications will be sent by selecting the severity:

■Information will send e-mails for all alarms

■Warning will send e-mail for alarms with severity of Warning and Error only.

■Error will send e-mail for alarms with severity of Error only.

For more information about events and alarms, see “Viewing Alarms” on page 107.

Event notification is initially set up during 3DM installation, but can be changed on the 3DM Settings page.

To set up event notification

1Click 3DM Settings on the menu bar.

2In the E-mail Notification section of the 3DM Settings page, enter or change the settings you want.

■Enable or Disable all notifications.

■Set the severity level of events for which e-mail notifications are sent.

■Specify the email address of the sender. This will appear in the “From” field of the e-mail.

■Enter the e-mail address(es) to which notifications are sent. (Separate multiple addresses with a comma (,) or a semicolon (;).

■Enter the SMTP server name or IP of your mail server.

3Click Save E-mail Settings.
