13.3 Notifying Users by Email About Status and Activity 

You can set up maxView Storage Manager to send email messages (or notifications) to one or more email addresses when an event occurs on a system, such as the creation of a logical drive or the failure of a disk drive. Email notifications can help you monitor activity on your entire storage space from any location, and are especially useful in storage spaces that include multiple systems running the maxView Storage Manager only.

Only the users you specify receive email notifications. You can specify which types of events generate email messages (Error, Informational, Warning). You can also specify if you want to be notified instantly when an event occurs to ensure that urgent issues receive immediate attention from the right people. Alternatively, you can specify that you want events “coalesced” and receive only one email message for each event type.

Follow the instructions in this section to:

• Set up email notifications (see 13.3.1 Setting Up Email Notifications).
• Send a test email (see 13.3.2 Sending a Test Message).
• Modify or remove an email recipient (see 13.3.3 Modifying or Removing an Email Recipient ).
• Modify email server settings (see 13.3.4 Modifying Email Server Settings).
• Disable email notifications (see 13.3.5 Disabling Email Notifications)
