5 Notification Configuration This chapter discusses how to configure notifications. The topics include the following: ♦ Description of the notification function ♦ Notification levels ♦ Configuring notification options ♦ Configuring a pager notification ♦ Configuring a fax notification ♦ Configuring an e-mail notification ♦ Configuring a broadcast notification 5.1 Introduction A management program is almost useless without reporting or notification function ability. For this reason, the GUI RAID Manager enables you to configure notifications to occur in response to various disk array events. For example, if you configure an e-mail notification, the GUI RAID Manager will send an e-mail to selected computers on the network if the event (that just occurred) falls within the selected notification level. If the notification is detailed enough, the recipient can respond accordingly. The notification function makes it possible to manage (or monitor) the disk array system even when the administrator is away from the manager station. When properly configured, this function can notify the administrator of event occurrences in the managed disk array system instantly even when he or she is at home, or in other places around the globe. 5-1
