6. In the Sender Address field, enter the email address, including the domain name, to use as
the sender for notifications.
The system automatically adds the host name of the storage system in the email From field,
which appears in many email systems. This host name helps identify where the event occurred.
7. Do one of the following:
• To save your changes and close the window, click Apply.
• To save your changes, close the window, and send a test email message, click Apply
and Test.
If you do not complete the email configuration, an alarm appears until you do so. Your changes
are saved, but the test function does not work until you complete the configuration, including at
least one email recipient.
NOTE: In some configurations designed to prevent spam, mail servers may start dropping multiple
emails if too many are being sent from a single source. During some LeftHand OS operations,
multiple alarms may be generated while the operation progresses. If you have a mail server
configured to filter spam, you may not receive some emails.
TIP: Add the sender email address to your safe senders list to ensure the system emails are
received.
Configuring email recipients
Set up email notification for events for each management group. After setting up the email server,
add email recipients to receive notification based on event severity.
NOTE: To temporarily disable email notification to a recipient, possibly because you are doing
something that would cause many event emails, you can deselect all of the severities. This generates
an alarm that persists until you set at least one severity again for the recipient.
To set up email recipients:
1. In the navigation window, log in to the management group.
2. In the tree, select Events→Email.
3. Click Email Tasks, and select Edit Email Settings.
4. Click Add Recipient.
5. In the Address field, enter the email address.
6. Select the following:
• Severity of the events
• Message type
• Language
7. Click OK.
8. Click Apply or Apply and Test.
Configuring SNMP
The management group can be monitored using an SNMP client. You can also enable SNMP traps
to receive system alerts. The Management Information Base (MIB) is read-only and supports SNMP
versions 1 and 2c. See “Using the SNMP MIBs” (page 96) for a list of MIBs.
Beginning with LeftHand OS software version 9.0, the SNMP agent on the storage system is
enabled by default and allows read-only access using the community string public. You can
change this configuration, unless you are using HP Insight Remote Support, which requires the
