Broadcasting Event Alerts to Users

You can set the Adaptec Storage Manager agent to send event alerts
about a specific system to all users who are logged into your storage
space. You might want to do this if your storage space isn’t managed by
a dedicated person, or if that particular system is off-site or not
connected to a monitor. Event alerts signal everyone working on the
storage space that a system requires technical assistance.

When you set Adaptec Storage Manager to broadcast event alerts, all
logged-in users receive messages about all types of events. In Windows,
these alerts appear as pop-up messages; in all other operating systems,
these alerts appear as console messages.

When enabled, event alerts occur independent of event notifications
(see

page 103

) and email notifications (see

page 111

).

To enable event alerts:

1

On the tool bar, click the Configure button, select the system you
want, then click General Settings.

The Adaptec Storage Manager Agent General Settings window opens
for that system.

2

Select Broadcast events to logged-in users, then click Save changes.

3

Restart Adaptec Storage Manager to apply the change.
