Setup Event Notification

Overview

This function specifies whether to report events that are detected in the storage system.

There are six methods for event notification: Host Sense Key Code Qualifier, SNMP Trap, E-Mail, syslog, REMCS, and AIS Connect.

A notification setting can be selected for each type of event.

Caution
  • For the SNMP Trap notification, performing the following functions is required.
    • [Setup SNMP Agent Basic Interface]

    • [Setup SNMP Manager]

    • [Setup SNMP Agent MIB Access View]

    • [Setup SNMP Agent User]

    • [Setup SNMP Agent Community]

    • [Setup SNMP Agent Trap]

  • For E-Mail notification, performing [Setup E-Mail Notification] is required.

  • For syslog notification, performing [Setup Syslog] is required.

  • For REMCS notification, performing [Setup Remote Support] is required.

  • For AIS Connect notification, performing [Setup AIS Connect Environment] is required.

  • If ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser is used and configured to automatically obtain the component status of the storage system, event notifications by SNMP traps for the following events are automatically enabled (notified).
    • Remote Path Error of no Data Transfer

    • Recovery module

    • Temperature restoration

    • FC CA Port Link Status Changed

    • iSCSI CA Port Link Status Changed

    • Remote Path Recovery

    • Events whose notification is enabled by default, but is disabled manually

  • If the storage system is deleted from ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser, event notifications of the SNMP traps revert to the default value. However, if the event notifications of the SNMP traps are changed from a storage system after being automatically changed, the event notifications do not revert to the default value even if the storage system is deleted.
