•Send E-mail - Policy Manager sends an e-mail when the condition is fulfilled. Enter a comma-separated list of e-mail addresses, and then click OK.

•Generate Event - Policy Manager generates an event of the specified event type, and the event appears in Event Manager. After you select a severity level, click OK. For a list of the severity levels you can select from, see ”Severity Levels” on page 373.

•Execute a Custom Command - Policy Manager executes a custom command on the management server when the condition is fulfilled. Enter a command that will execute the script in the box, and click OK.

The software assumes you are in the %JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\remotescripts directory on the management server when the script is executed. You can use environment variables in your script, such as POLICY_NAME and POLICY_DESCRIPTION, where POLICY_NAME provides the policy name and POLICY_DESCRIPTION provides a description of the policy. See ”Software Environment Variables for Scripting” on page 296 for more information.

Prefix the command with “start” if the custom command triggers a user interface component, for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer or a command prompt window. For example, if you want the custom command to open a command prompt window and list the contents in the directory, you would prefix the command as follows:

start dir

Severity Levels

When you create or modify a policy, you can select the severity level for which you want Policy Manager to generate an event. The following severity levels are available:

IMPORTANT: Since the severity level for an element is set by the manufacturer, the meanings of the severity levels vary. It is best to view the description of the event.

•Unknown - The severity level is not known.

•Informational - An example of an informational event is a progress report event for firmware download operation currently in progress.

•Warning - An example of a warning is one or more new physical fabric objects (device port, switch, or fabric) have appeared.

•Minor - An example of a minor event is a physical fabric object (switch port or fabric) has changed state.

•Major - An example of a major event is one or more physical fabric objects (device port, switch, or fabric) have disappeared.

•Critical - An example of a critical event is Brocade switches that have a failed firmware download and the failure reason code for each respective switch.

Creating a Utilization or Backup Policy

You can create a utilization or backup policy that generates an event, sends an e-mail, or runs a custom command when an element is being overused. For example, you can configure Policy
