•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 appears.

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

•Adding an SNMP address—In Community name, type the community name. In Trap destination, type the trap destination, and click Add.

NOTE: The community name is an American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) string that identifies a known set of network management stations and is set by the network administrator. The default community name is the string “public”. The trap destination is the IP address or the host name of a computer running an SNMP management application. An example of an SNMP enabled management application is the Dell Management Console. Please see dell.com for more information on the Dell Management Console.

•Replacing an SNMP address—Select the SNMP address in the Configured SNMP addresses area, type the replacement community name in Community name and the trap destination in Trap destination, and click Replace.
