The ASM/ME GUI provides an option to automatically generate the syntax for an ASM/ME command, based on the options that you select for an ASM/ME operation. For example, you can select a Smart Copy and then generate the syntactically complete command for mounting it. (The option to generate the command is available in the menu bar or as a right-click menu option.) You need to enter the command in the EqualLogic Power Shell. See Use a Script to Create Smart Copies for how to integrate a Smart Copy schedule into your regular backup schedule script. You can generate commands for the following ASM/ME operations: • Create Smart Copy • Checksum and Recovery • Unmount and Logoff • Mount • Mount as Read-Only • Restore All • Selective Restore (not available for Exchange) Alerts and Event Notification ASM/ME provides the following notification services: • Email Notification-You can configure ASM/ME to send email alerts when scheduled Smart Copy operations complete successfully or when they fail. You are also notified of the outcome of any scheduled Checksum Verification and Soft Recovery operations on Exchange components. You configure email notifications from the ASM/ME Settings page. • Errors and Warnings Within ASM/ME-ASM/ME displays errors (indicated by red circles) and warnings (indicated by yellow triangles) at the bottom-right corner of the ASM/ME window. Click the Error and Warning labels to view individual alerts.
