8 RAID Notifications
RAID event notifications can be configured using the
Notifications tab in the host system properties panel within
the ATTO ConfigTool:
a. From the Device Listing panel on the left, expand the list
and select the computer that your RTX is plugged into. If
the RTX enclosure is plugged into the computer you are
currently using, select localhost.
b. Select the Notifications tab that appears on the right.
RAID events are divided into 3 categories:
• Critical events indicate a serious problem has
occurred and the administrator of the RAID group
should perform corrective action.
• Warning events are less serious but still warrant
notification.
• Information alerts provide additional useful
information about warnings or critical events.
Each type of notification can be configured to notify only on
specific levels of RAID events. There are four options available:
• Critical: Only Critical events are reported.
• Warning: Only Warning and Critical events are
reported.
• All: All RAID events (Information, Warning, Critical)
are reported.
• None: No RAID events are reported and RAID
notification is disabled.
8.1 Configuring Visual, Audible, and System Log Alerts
The Basic Alerts section on the Notifications tab lets you
configure which levels of RAID events will trigger Audible
and Visual alerts and which ones will be recorded in the
system event log.
Notifications are specified at the host system level and
apply to all enclosures and storage controllers with ATTO
chipsets (such as the RTX enclosure) installed on the host
system.
