return to the Migrate Event Notification Recipients page.
If there are more users to migrate, choose another user and click Migrate to
complete the process again. When there are no more users with notification
settings to migrate, the Migrate Notification Settings icon disappears from the
Getting Started page.
The new Management Appliance user created in this process has the same e-mail
address as the previous version user. If the new user account is enabled, that
person receives notification messages from the same devices and applications as
the migrated user.
A migrated user could have notification settings for particular devices or
applications, with e-mail notification disabled in the prior software version. In this
special case the new V2.0 user has similar notification settings, and notification is
disabled on the Notification Info tab of the User Properties page.
By default, the new user receives notification for all event types generated by the
migrated devices and applications. The Management Appliance V2.0 software
provides two ways an administrator can reduce the number of notification
messages received by the new user. One way is to disable notification for
particular severity types using the Notification Info tab of the User Properties
page. See “
Configuring User Properties for Notification
information. The other way is to disable unwanted event types listed on the
Events Summary page for the user. See “
for detailed information.
This migration process adds any SNMP trap recipients or hosts to the
Management Appliance database, however the settings for event forwarding are
not migrated. See “
,” on page 67 for detailed information.
Sending Notifications to an Existing Account
When you migrate notification settings from a previous installation of the Storage

existing or target user account.
