Use the Modify Local User panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
change attributes about a local user who receives event notifications
to a specified e-mail address.
Attributes
The
following attributes are displayed:
- User Name
- Displays the name of the e-mail user.
- E-Mail Address
- Displays the e-mail address of the user.
- Send Error Notification
- Displays whether events with notification type of error are
sent to the local user at the specified e-mail address. When
an event notification with the type error is received
by the specified user, 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. The most typical reason this
type of notification is sent is because of a hardware failure, but
some configuration errors or fabric errors also are included in this
notification type.
- On
- Indicates that the specified user receives events with the notification
type of error.
- Off
- Indicates that the specified user does not receive
events with the notification type of error.
- Send Warning Notifications
- Displays whether events with the notification type of warning are
sent to the local user at the specified e-mail address. 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; for
example, a critical FlashCopy® operation
has failed.
- On
- Indicates that events with the notification type of warning are
received by the specified e-mail user.
- Off
- Indicates that events with the notification type of warning are
not sent.
- Send Informational Notifications
- Displays whether events with the notification type of informational are
sent to the local user at the specified e-mail address. 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.
- On
- Indicates that events with the notification type of warning are
received by the specified e-mail user.
- Off
- Indicates that events with the notification type of warning are
not sent.
