Managing E-mail Event Notification

3DM can notify you when the 3ware RAID controller requires attention, such
as when a disk unit becomes degraded and is no longer fault tolerant.

E-mail event notification can only occur while 3DM is running, so it is
recommended that the 3DM process be left running in the background on the
system that contains the 3ware RAID controller.

When events occur, notification can be e-mailed to one or more recipients.
You can specify the type of events for which notifications will be sent by
selecting the severity:

Information

will send e-mails for all events

Warning

will send e-mail for events with severity of Warning and Error.

Error

will send e-mail for events with severity of Error only.

Events are listed on the 3DM

Alarms

page.

Event notification can be set up during 3DM installation, and can be changed
on the 3DM 2 Settings page.

Note:

If you forget your password, you can uninstall 3DM and then

reinstall it. This will reset the password to the default password,
3ware

.

Note:

If you are using VMware, you will need to configure the VMware firewall to

allow outgoing email, as all ports are blocked by default. See “Configuring the
VMware Firewall to Allow Email Notification” on page 83
