Setting Up Event Notification Event Notification is a function of Storage Manager Pro that, when set up, can inform you about specified events that may occur on your Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers. Event Notification allows you to designate multiple recipients to receive an e-mail or an e-mail pager message when an event, such as failover, occurs. You can specify a minimum event severity level, such as informational, warning, or critical, for the events for which you want to receive notification. You can assign different severity levels for each recipient as well as which severity levels trigger each notification type (e-mail or e-mail pager). For example, you can assign User A to receive both e-mail and e-mail pager messages about all events with a severity of warning or greater while User B is notified only by e-mail pager and only about all critical events. Event Notification can be set up for either a single system or for all systems that are members of a management set. What you can do depends on your login account: I Local Accounts-Manage only the events on the local system you are running. I Global Accounts-Manage the events on all systems that are in the management set. Any system registered with the directory manager can manage the Event Notification for all the systems that are members of the management set. Event Notification follows the same local and global account rules as User Administration except administrative rights are not required. See Understanding User Accounts on page 5-1. 6-7

Setting Up Event Notification
Event Notification is a function of Storage Manager Pro that, when
set up, can inform you about specified events that may occur on
your Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers. Event Notification allows you
to designate multiple recipients to receive an e-mail or an e-mail
pager message when an event, such as failover, occurs. You can
specify a minimum event severity level, such as informational,
warning, or critical, for the events for which you want to receive
notification. You can assign different severity levels for each
recipient as well as which severity levels trigger each notification
type (e-mail or e-mail pager). For example, you can assign User A to
receive both e-mail and e-mail pager messages about all events with
a severity of warning or greater while User B is notified only by
e-mail pager and only about all critical events.
Event Notification can be set up for either a single system or for all
systems that are members of a management set. What you can do
depends on your login account:
Local Accounts
Manage only the events on the local system
you are running.
Global Accounts
Manage the events on all systems that are
in the management set. Any system registered with the
directory manager can manage the Event Notification for all
the systems that are members of the management set.
Event Notification follows the same local and global account rules as
User Administration except administrative rights are not required.
