Event notification
The Management application records the SAN events in the Master Log. You can configure the
application to send event notifications to e-mail addresses at certain time intervals. This is a
convenient way to keep track of events that occur on the SAN. You can also configure products to
“call home” for certain events, notifying the service center of product problems. For instructions
about configuring call home for events, refer to “Call Home” on page 75.
Configuring e-mail notification
To send notification of events to users, complete the following steps.
1. Select Monitor > Event Notification > E-mail.
The E-mail Event Notification Setup dialog box displays (Figure 107).

2. Select the Enable E-mail Event Notification check box.
3. Enter the IP address or the name of the SMTP mail server that the Server can use to send the
e-mail in the E-mail Server field.
4. Enter the authentication ID of the SMTP mail server in the SMTP ID field.
NOTE
This field is optional unless the SMTP server enables authentication.
5. Enter the authentication password of the SMTP mail server in the SMTP Password field.
NOTE
This field is optional unless the SMTP server enables authentication.
6. Enter the recipient’s e-mail address in the Reply Address field.
7. Enter the length of time the application should wait between notifications in the Summary
Interval field and list.
Notifications are combined into a single e-mail and sent at each interval setting. An interval
setting of zero causes notifications to be sent immediately.
ATTENTION
Setting too short an interval can cause the recipient’s e-mail inbox to fill very quickly.
