Chapter 8: Monitoring Your Storage Space ● 93 Using Notifications to Monitor Status You can set up Adaptec Storage Manager to broadcast messages (or notifications) to selected remote systems and users when an event, such as the creation of a logical drive or the failure of a disk drive, occurs on the local system. (For more information about event types, see page 91.) You can set up one or both of these types of notifications for any system in your storage space: ● Event notifications-Messages about a system are sent to the Event Viewer of other systems in your storage space. See the following section. ● Email notifications-Messages about a system are sent by email to specified users. See page 99. Setting up Event Notifications Event notifications are messages about events on one system that are sent to the Event Viewer of another system in your storage space. These messages, called logged notifications, can help you monitor activity on your entire storage space from a single local station, and are especially useful in storage spaces that include multiple systems running the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent only. Logged notifications include status information and identify which system (or source) an event occurred on. For instance, in this example, the Event Viewer indicates that two logical drives were added to a system named 'gas1668b'. Logged notifications are not sent to all systems in your storage space. In the Notification Manager, you can specify which systems will send and receive logged notifications; then, you can add or delete systems as your storage space grows and changes. Opening the Notification Manager and Adding Systems This section describes how to set up event notifications for one system in your storage space. You must complete the tasks in this section for each individual system that you'll be monitoring with logged notifications. To set up event notifications for a system: 1 Note this information for each system that will receive event notifications about the selected system: ● Host name or TCP/IP address ● TCP/IP port number (or the default, 34571)

Using Notifications to Monitor Status
You can set up Adaptec Storage Manager to broadcast messages (or
notifications
) to selected
remote systems and users when an event, such as the creation of a logical drive or the failure of
a disk drive, occurs on the local system. (For more information about event types, see
page 91
.)
You can set up one or both of these types of notifications for any system in your storage space:
●
Event notifications
—Messages about a system are sent to the Event Viewer of other
systems in your storage space. See the following section.
●
Email notifications
—Messages about a system are sent by email to specified users. See
page 99
.
Setting up Event Notifications
Event notifications are messages about events on one system that are sent to the Event Viewer
of another system in your storage space. These messages, called
logged notifications
, can help
you monitor activity on your entire storage space from a single local station, and are especially
useful in storage spaces that include multiple systems running the Adaptec Storage Manager
Agent only.
Logged notifications include status information and identify which system (or
source
) an event
occurred on. For instance, in this example, the Event Viewer indicates that two logical drives
were added to a system named ‘gas1668b’.
Logged notifications are
not
sent to all systems in your storage space. In the Notification
Manager, you can specify which systems will send and receive logged notifications; then, you
can add or delete systems as your storage space grows and changes.
Opening the Notification Manager and Adding Systems
This section describes how to set up event notifications for one system in your storage space.
You must complete the tasks in this section for
each
individual system that you’ll be
monitoring with logged notifications.
To set up event notifications for a system:
1
Note this information for each system that will
receive
event notifications about the
selected system:
●
Host name or TCP/IP address
●
TCP/IP port number (or the default, 34571)
