An alert icon is displayed next to each node in the Tree view where an alert is set.

To ensure that the e-mail is sent successfully:

•You must provide a SMTP mail server name and an e-mail sender address for the e-mail addresses to work.

•The e-mail addresses that you had previously configured are displayed in the Configured e-mail addresses area.

•You must use fully qualified e-mail addresses, for example, name@mycompany.com.

•You can configure multiple e-mail addresses before you click OK.

Configuring SNMP Alerts

To add a management console to the list of addresses configured to receive SNMP alerts:

1Open the Configure Alerts dialog by performing one of these actions:

•In the Tree view or the Table view on the Devices tab in the EMW, select a node, and select Edit→ Configure Alerts. Go to step 3.

•In the Setup tab in the EMW, select Configure Alerts. Go to step 2.

2Select one of the following radio buttons to specify an alert level:

•All storage arrays—Select this option to send an alert notification about events on all storage arrays.

•An individual storage array—Select this option to send an alert notification about events that occur in only a specified storage array.

These results occur, depending on your selection:

•If you selected All storage arrays, the Configure Alerts dialog is displayed.

•If you selected An individual storage array, the Select Storage Array dialog is displayed. Select the storage array for which you want to receive alert notifications and click OK. The Configure Alerts dialog is displayed.

NOTE: If you do not know which storage array to select, click Blink to turn on the LEDs of the storage array.

3Select the SNMP tab to configure the SNMP alert destinations.
