SMU also includes monitoring and diagnostic features that enhance the reliability,
availability, and serviceability (RAS) of your storage system. You can configure the
transmission of event notifications (alerts), which can be sent to the screen or to
email addresses, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps, which
can be sent to an SNMP application. Events are also recorded in an event log on the
storage system from which they can be viewed.
In a dual-controller system, you can access all SMU functions from either
controller. If one controller becomes unavailable, you can continue to monitor and
manage the storage system from the partner controller.
Note – You can also monitor and manage storage using the scriptable command-
line interface (CLI), as described in the CLI reference guide.
