Changing Expansion Enclosure ID Numbers
When an MD1000 expansion enclosure is attached to an MD3000/MD3000i
storage array for the first time, an enclosure ID number is assigned and
maintained by the MD1000. This enclosure ID number is also shown in the
MD Storage Manager, but it is not an indicator of the enclosure’s physical
location. It may appear that MD Storage Manager is reporting the expansion
enclosures in improper order.
You can change the enclosure ID numbers in the MD Storage Manager by
clicking the Tools menu and then clicking Change Enclosures ID Numbers.
Any ID number you assign will not conflict with the enclosure IDs.
Configuring Alert Notifications
MD Storage Manager can send an alert for any condition on the storage array
that requires your attention, such as the failure of a storage array component or
the occurrence of an adverse environmental condition. Alerts can be sent as
e-mail messages or as SNMP messages.
You can verify whether alerts are currently set by looking at the Alert status
line in the Status area of the Summary tab.
Configuring E-mail Alerts
To configure e-mail alerts, click the Tools tab and then click Set up e-mail
alerts. The Content Area displays two links: Configure Sender E-mail
Settings and Add or Edit E-mail Addresses.
NOTE:
These settings apply to all storage arrays currently managed by the
management station.
