Adapter attempts to send an alert:

2.For an xSeries 330 server: To set remote alert attempts on the ASM processor, log in to the ASM processor. For more information, see “Accessing remote adapters through an ASM interconnect network” on page 67.

3.In the Advanced System Management window, select Settings. The Settings window opens.

4.In the Settings window, select Login & Alert Profiles. The Login & Alert Profiles window opens.

5.In the Login & Alert Profiles window, select Remote Alert Settings.

Use these settings to define the number of remote alert attempts and the time between the attempts.

6.In the Remote Alert Retry Limit field, specify the number of additional times that the Remote Supervisor Adapter will attempt to forward an alert to a recipient. All other notification methods are attempted only once.

7.In the Delay Between Retries field, specify the time interval (in minutes) that the Remote Supervisor Adapter will wait between retries to send an alert.

8.In the Include event log with e-mail alerts? field, select Yes or No.

You can attach detailed information to alert recipients who are configured to receive e-mail as their notification method. The event log provides a summary of the most recent events and assists with problem identification and fast recovery.
