Alert Settings
The Alert Settings panel enables you to specify all, or a subset of, email alerts that will be emailed to you. The default settings are to
receive all critical and warning alerts, and no informational alerts. You must configure email settings in order to receive email alerts. See
Notification Settings for information about configuring email.
In addition to email alerts, the ASM/ME GUI displays errors and warnings when a Smart Copy creation cannot complete because snapshot
reserve space, free pool space to clone a Smart Copy, or replica reserve space is low on your PS Series group.
Alerts are issued:
• When scheduled Smart Copy operations either succeed or fail. See About Schedules.
• When MPIO-related tasks fail
To configure alerts, see Configure Alert Settings. You can also control alerts using ASMCLI. Enabling or disabling alerts through ASMCLI
automatically sets the corresponding alerts in the GUI, which updates the alert status when you view alerts through ASMCLI. See ASMCLI
-alert for more information about the command for setting alerts.
The following table describes all the critical alerts that can be triggered in ASMCLI, and whether or not those alerts are enabled by default.
