About Notification Types
You can use Storage Management Appliance notification features to send event
information such as SNMP traps to a host or have the information sent to a
number of users in an e-mail message or an e-mail pager alert. By default, the
system logs events and does not send notifications.
SNMP Trap Forwarding
For a supported device or discovered application you can select an event type and
have the Storage Management Appliance forward basic information about each
event of that type to another host. The SMA formats the information as an SNMP
trap message and the destination host is called an SNMP trap recipient. You must
identify each SNMP trap recipient by name or IP address. You can set up SNMP
trap forwarding differently for each event type generated by a supported device or
application.
For unsupported devices, you can enable or disable trap messages from each
device. Unlike supported devices, you cannot specify that unsupported devices
send trap messages to a particular recipient. If you enable trap forwarding from an
unsupported device, the SMA forwards these traps to all listed trap recipients. Use
the Details tab of the Properties page to set SNMP trap forwarding for
unsupported devices.
E-mail or E-mail Pager Notification
The Storage Management Appliance can notify a user of an event by sending an
e-mail message to a standard e-mail address or to an e-mail pager address.
For applications and supported devices, each user can specify the type of events
for which they want to receive a notification message. You can also select an event
type generated by a particular device or application and have the Storage
Management Appliance send an e-mail message and/or e-mail pager alert to any
number of users for each event of that type.
You can set up e-mail notification differently for each event type generated by a
supported device or application.
To receive e-mail notification about events from unsupported devices, you can
enable notification for the Storage Management Appliance event type that is
labeled with event code 880A02BC and severity Information. This event is listed
on the Notification Events page for the Storage Management Appliance.
