Chapter 11: Monitoring Your Storage Space ● 120 Broadcasting Event Alerts to Users You can set the Adaptec Storage Manager agent to send event alerts about a specific system to all users who are logged into your storage space. You might want to do this if your storage space isn't managed by a dedicated person, or if that particular system is off-site or not connected to a monitor. Event alerts signal everyone working on the storage space that a system requires technical assistance. When you set Adaptec Storage Manager to broadcast event alerts, all logged-in users receive messages about all types of events. In Windows, these alerts appear as pop-up messages; in all other operating systems, these alerts appear as console messages. When enabled, event alerts occur independent of event notifications (see page 103) and email notifications (see page 111). To enable event alerts: 1 On the tool bar, click the Configure button, select the system you want, then click General Settings. The Adaptec Storage Manager Agent General Settings window opens for that system. 2 Select Broadcast events to logged-in users, then click Save changes. 3 Restart Adaptec Storage Manager to apply the change.
