Viewing e-mail user properties

Use the Viewing E-mail User Properties panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to view the e-mail users who receive event and inventory notifications for the selected cluster. These event notifications keep e-mail recipients informed of potential problems that are related to your cluster configuration and provide prompt responses to these issues.

Attributes

The following attributes are displayed in the table:

Name
Displays the name of the user who receives event notifications.
Type
Displays the type of user who receives event notifications. The following values are possible:
Local
Indicates that the user who receives event and inventory notifications is within your organization.
Support
Indicates that the user who receives event and inventory notifications is a service representative in the IBM® Support Center.
E-mail
Displays the e-mail address of the user who receives event and inventory notifications.
Error
Displays whether the SAN Volume Controller cluster sends events with the notification type of error to the user. When an event notification with the type error is received by the SNMP server, the problem must be fixed immediately. This notification indicates a serious problem with the SAN Volume Controller cluster. For example, the event that is being reported could indicate a loss of redundancy in the system, and it is possible that another failure could result in loss of access to data. A hardware failure is the most typical reason this type of notification is sent, but some configuration errors or fabric errors also are included in this notification type.
Warn
Displays whether the SAN Volume Controller cluster sends events with the notification type of warning to the user. A warning notification is sent to indicate a problem or unexpected condition with the SAN Volume Controller. Always immediately investigate this type of notification to determine the effect that it might have on your operation and correct the problem if necessary. A warning notification does not require any replacement parts and therefore should not require IBM Support Center involvement. However, the event being reported might indicate a condition that could be fatal to your operating environment; such as, a critical FlashCopy® operation has failed.
Info
Displays whether the SAN Volume Controller cluster sends events with the notification type of informational to the user. For these types of notifications, no action is necessary to resolve them. This notification indicates an event that was expected has occurred. For example, a FlashCopy mapping event has completed successfully. No remedial action is required when these notification types are sent.
Inventory
Indicates whether inventory notifications are enabled for this user.
