Setting storage system information
This topic explains how to set the name, contact information, and location of the storage system.
CAUTION: The configured values are required to use SNMP agents. Make sure to document the
information, because the settings will be cleared when the SVP is replaced.
CAUTION: You can change more than one parameter, multiple times, but change only one at a
time. Wait until the current task finishes before starting a new task. If you apply a setting (a new
task) before the current task finishes, only the new task will be applied, so the result might be
different from what you expected.
To set storage system information:
1.
In the Storage System tree, select the storage system.
2. Open the Edit Storage System window in one of the following ways:
•
Click Edit Storage System.
•
From Settings, click Environmental Settings > Edit Storage System.
3. Enter the items that you want to set.
You can enter up to 180 alphanumeric characters (ASCII codes) excluding several symbols
(\ , / ; : * ? " < > | & % ^). Avoid using a space at the beginning and the end.
4. Click Finish. The Confirm window opens.
5. In the Confirm window, check the settings and enter a task name in Task Name.
6. Click Apply. The task is registered. If the Go to tasks window for status check box is checked,
the Task window opens.

Reporting failure information about storage systems
This topic explains how to report storage system failure though Syslog or email.
You can report failure information (SIM) about storage systems through Syslog, SNMP trap, and
email. Failure information reported through email is the same as SIM displayed on the Alert window
or reported through SNMP trap. For SNMP trap, the user needs to access the SNMP Manager to
check for failure. However, for report through Syslog or email, the user has only to check Syslog
or email to know about the occurrence of failure. See the XP7 SNMP Agent User Guide for methods
of notification with SNMP traps.
