6.1 Phone Home: Email Alerts
Phone home Email notification allows the FastStream to send an Email message to you, a network administrator or other users when certain events occur with the FastStream.
Serious error messages are sent immediately, while messages for less serious errors are sent every 15 minutes.
•Types of errors
•Device/drive errors such as medium error, aborted command and hard error
•Device/drive transitions from online to offline
•Critical and warning temperature conditions
•Critical and warning voltage conditions
•Power recycle/power failure conditions
•Warning messages
•device down
•medium error
•abort command
•Message severity levels
•Critical: critical event Emails are sent
•Warning: warnings and critical event Emails are sent
•Informational: information which you may want to know but which probably does not require action: only information messages are sent
•All: warnings, critical events and informational messages are sent
•None: no Emails are sent
You may send Emails to up to five Email addresses and designate which conditions prompt each Email notification.
For example, a recipient with a critical severity level only receives critical messages and not warning or informational messages.
When an event occurs that warrants Email notification, the FastStream sends the message; it cannot respond to a rejection by a server for an invalid address.
Ensure all Email addresses typed in are valid.
Each Email is time stamped when it is sent as part of the SMTP header information.
