Displaying alarms
Using the Alarm Notification tab, you can view a list of all alarms that have occurred for a selected
class/area (see Figure 46 on page 130). Table 10 describes the columns in this report. (Note that for the
FRU class, only the Name, State, and Time columns are displayed. In addition, if the FRU area is Fan, the
Name column refers to either a fan or a fan FRU, depending on the switch model. See ” Displaying
detailed fan hardware status ” on page 87 for more information.)
To view alarms:
1. Launch the Fabric Watch module as described in ” To launch the Fabric Watch module: ” on
page 130.
2. Select the class that you want to check for alarms in the Fabric Watch navigation tree.
3. Click the Alarm Notification tab.
4. Select the area that you want to check for alarms from the Area Selection menu.
All alarms for that area display.
For troubleshooting responses to alarms, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric Watch 4.4.x user guide.
Configuring e-mail notifications
One of the ways that you can be notified of an alarm condition is through an e-mail alert. If you have
configured alarms to send an e-mail notification, you must also configure the e-mail server and the e-mail
recipient, as described in the following sections.
Configuring the e-mail server on a switch
You must set up the e-mail notification recipient’s DNS server and domain name on each switch for which
e-mail notification is enabled.
When you set up the e-mail notification local network’s DNS server and domain name for the Core
Switch 2/64 and SAN Director 2/128, it is on a logical-switch basis. This means that for each logical
switch, you must set up the e-mail notification recipient’s DNS server and domain name individually.
To configure the e-mail server:
1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described in ” Launching the Switch Admin module ” on page 43.
