Set up status notifications
You can set up Xsan to send an email or a text message to notify you or other
administrators when:
A controller switches to its backup Â
A Fibre Channel connection fails Â
Free space on a volume falls below a specified percentage Â
A user or group exceeds the designated soft quota Â
To send email notifications outside the local network, the controller needs access to an
SMTP server.
Set up status notifications:
1 Open Xsan Admin and select Overview in the SAN Assets list.
2 Choose Edit Notifications Settings from the Action pop-up menu (gear).
3 To add a contact, click the Add button (+) and enter an email address.
4 If the address is for an account that will forward the notification as a text message,
click the checkbox in the Text Msg column.
5 Choose the conditions that cause a notification to be sent (next to “Notify if”).
6 Enter a sender name.
7 Enter the mail server address in the SMTP Server field.
8 To send a test message to all recipients, click Send Test Notification.
9 Adjust settings as necessary, and then click OK.
