• Settings for reporting SNMP traps to Device Manager
• The IP address of the management server must be registered in the SNMP Agent settings for
storage systems as a target for trap notification.
After the above settings finish, the Device Manager server receives SNMP traps from all communities
and displays them as alerts.

Operation flow for reporting alerts by email
When an alert is issued on a storage system, the alert can be automatically reported to users by email.
This enables users to be aware of failures that have occurred in storage systems without logging in
to the management client.
The settings required for sending alerts to users by email are described below.
1. Setting up the SMTP server
Set the SMTP server so that the Device Manager server can connect to the SMTP server. Follow
the procedure for setting the SMTP server to be used.
2. Registering recipients of email alerts
In the Device Manager GUI, register the users who will receive emails.
3. Setting properties for reporting alerts
Set the SMTP server information and the email address from which alerts are reported as properties
of the Device Manager server.
4. Registering an SMTP authentication user account (when SMTP authentication is used)
Register an SMTP authentication user account in the Device Manager server. If an SMTP
authentication user account has already been registered due to event notification, you do not
have to register it again.
5. Customizing email alert template (optional)
Edit the template file as necessary, and set the email output contents.
