Devices tab in the EMW,

EditConfigure Alerts. Go to step 3.

• In the

Setup tab in the EMW, select Configure Alerts. Go to step 2.

2 Select one of the following radio buttons to specify an alert level:

All storage arrays—Select this option to send an alert notification

about events on all storage arrays.

An individual storage array—Select this option to send an alert

notification about events that occur in only a specified storage array.

These results occur, depending on your selection:
• If you selected All storage arrays, the

Configure Alerts dialog is

displayed.

• If you selected An individual storage array, the

Select Storage Array

dialog is displayed. Select the storage array for which you want to

receive alert notifications and click

OK. The Configure Alerts dialog is

displayed.

NOTE:

If you do not know which storage array to select, click Blink to turn on

the LEDs of the storage array.

3 Select the SNMP tab to configure the SNMP alert destinations.

• Adding an SNMP address—In Community name, type the

community name. In

NOTE:

The community name is an American Standard Code for Information

Interchange (ASCII) string that identifies a known set of network management

stations and is set by the network administrator. The default community name

is the string “public”. The trap destination is the IP address or the host name

of a computer running an SNMP management application. An example of an

SNMP enabled management application is the Dell Management Console. For

more information on Dell Management Console, see dell.com.
