Administrator Guide

b. Enter the host name or IP address in the Host field, User Name, and Password for the Storage Center. The user must
have Administrator or Volume Manager privileges for the Storage Center.
CAUTION: If reconfiguring a Storage Center user from an Administrator to a Volume Manager user,
restores may fail if the new Storage Center user does not have access to the view volumes previously
created by Replay Manager on the Storage Center. To ensure the Volume Manager user can access the
view volumes, either add the Replay Manager VSS subfolders to the Volume Manger’s user group, or move
the view volumes into a folder associated with that user group in Storage Center.
c. Select the Replay Manager server from the drop-down menu.
NOTE: The field “This Server” is needed only for Microsoft servers.
d. Click the appropriate button. The button is labeled as either Add or Update, depending on whether the Storage Center is
being added for the first time or the Storage Center is already configured.
5. To remove a Storage Center:
a. In the Defined Systems list, select the Storage Center you want to remove.
b. Click Remove.
Set Up Notifications for a Server or Host
Configure notification services to send an email to designated recipients when snapshot creation is completed, or failed, or both.
Anti-spam filters may require adjustment to ensure notification emails are not blocked by the email server.
NOTE: For servers that are members of a cluster, the notification configuration is common for all servers in the cluster.
Any server notification information updated by one node will be passed to all nodes in the cluster. When notifications are
received, the individual node name for which the notification was generated is automatically included in the subject line of
the email.
1. In the Server Connections area of the navigation pane, connect to the server to configure.
2. In the Configuration area of the navigation pane, click Configure Server.
3. Click the Notifications tab.
4. Set up notifications:
● SMTP Server: Enter the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server host name or IP address.
● From: Enter the email address to use as the sender.
● To: Enter one or more email addresses that will be sent notifications. Separate addresses using commas (,).
● Subject: Enter subject text to use for notifications. If a subject is specified, the node that generated the notification
is included in the body of the email only, preceded by Creation Host: If no subject is specified, the subject text is
automatically generated based on the backup set name, and includes the node name of the server that generated the
notification.
● Notify on success: If selected, sends an email notification for each successful snapshot.
● Notify on verification failure (Available only for Exchange Stores extensions): If selected, sends an email
notification for each Exchange verification failure.
● Notify on failure: If selected, sends an email notification for each failed snapshot.
5. To send an email to test the notification settings, click Send a Test Email.
NOTE:
If the test email is not successful, make sure the SMTP server has the correct relay permissions. This is
especially important when sending email to an external email address.
