6.0 HP X9320 Network Storage System Administrator Guide (AW542-96009, December 2011)

The notification threshold for Alert events is 90% of capacity. Threshold-triggered notifications are
sent when a monitored system resource exceeds the threshold and are reset when the resource
utilization dips 10% below the threshold. For example, a notification is sent the first time usage
reaches 90% or more. The next notice is sent only if the usage declines to 80% or less (event is
reset), and subsequently rises again to 90% or above.
To associate all types of events with recipients, omit the -e argument in the following command.
Use the ALERT, WARN, and INFO keywords to make specific type associations or use EVENTLIST
to associate specific events.
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -c [-e ALERT|WARN|INFO|EVENTLIST] -m EMAILLIST
The following command associates all types of events to [e-mail]:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -c -m [e-mail]
The next command associates all Alert events and two Info events to [e-mail]:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -c -e ALERT,server.registered,filesystem.space.full
-m [e-mail]
Configuring email notification settings
Configuring email notification settings involves specifying the SMTP server and header information
and turning the notification process on or off. The state of the email notification process has no
effect on the display of cluster events in the management console GUI.
The server must be able to receive and send email and must recognize the From and Reply-to
addresses. Be sure to specify valid email addresses, especially for the SMTP server. If an address
is not valid, the SMTP server will reject the email.
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -m on|off -s SMTP -f from [-r reply-to] [-t subject]
The following command configures email settings to use the mail.hp.com SMTP server and to turn
on notifications:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -m on -s mail.hp.com -f [e-mail]
-r [e-mail] -t Cluster1 Notification
Turning email notifications on or off
After configuration is complete, use the -m on option to turn on email notifications. To turn off
email notifications, use the -m off option.
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -m on|off -s SMTP -f from
Dissociating events and email addresses
To remove the association between events and email addresses, use the following command:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -d [-e ALERT|WARN|INFO|EVENTLIST] -m EMAILLIST
For example, to dissociate event notifications for [e-mail]:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -d -m [e-mail]
To turn off all Alert notifications for [e-mail]:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -d -e ALERT -m [e-mail]
To turn off the server.registered and filesystem.created notifications for
[e-mail] and [e-mail]:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -d -e server.registered,filesystem.created
-m [e-mail],[e-mail]
Testing email addresses
To test an email address with a test message, notifications must be turned on. If the address is
valid, the command signals success and sends an email containing the settings to the recipient. If
the address is not valid, the command returns an address failed exception.
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -u -n EMAILADDRESS
