Creating a paging task based on e-mail notification
You can set up a notification
that causes HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to send an e-mail that
can then be forwarded to a BlackBerry, cell phone (for example, SMS), and other paging interface application
whenever the
(CMS) receives a Critical, Major, or Minor event.
IMPORTANT:
When using time filters, you can use on-call style e-mails or pages. If you want one person
to be notified during business hours and another at night, create two different tasks and set the time filter
appropriately.
NOTE:
This same type of task configuration can be applied to a Paging Task to use a modem in the HP
SIM server to page through a BlackBerry or alphanumeric pager.
NOTE:
Paging is only supported on a CMS running Windows.
