Use the Preview E-mail Event Notification
panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
preview the format of different types of event notifications.
Fields
The
following fields can be selected:
- Error
- Select this to view the e-mail format for events with notification
type of error. 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.
- Warning
- Select this to view the e-mail format for events with notification
type of warning. 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.
- Informational
- Select this to view the e-mail format for events with notification
type of informational. 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.
- Test
- Select this to view the e-mail format for sending test e-mail
messages.
