Select Edit >> Alert Destinations to perform these tasks:
Keep these guidelines in mind when you use email and SNMP alert notifications:
Select the node if you want to configure email, SNMP trap destinations, or both to receive notifications for every managed storage subsystem.
Note:
If there are alert destinations also configured for individual hosts or storage subsystems, the storage management software eliminates duplicate storage subsystem notifications that were delivered to the same destination.In Example 1, selecting the storage management station node and configuring alert destinations causes those destinations to
receive notifications for every managed storage subsystem.
Select a host node if you want to configure email, SNMP trap destinations, or both to receive notifications for only those storage subsystems that are managed through the selected host.
In Example 2, selecting Host Alpha and configuring alert destinations causes those destinations to receive notifications only
for the Human Resources and Finance storage subsystems.
Select a managed storage subsystem node if you want to configure email, trap destinations, or both to receive notifications for only the selected managed storage subsystem.
Note:
If both host-level and storage subsystem-level settings are configured for a storage subsystem, the storage management software eliminates duplicate storage subsystem notifications delivered to the same destination.In Example 3, selecting the Finance storage subsystem and configuring alert destinations causes those destinations to receive
notifications only for the Finance storage subsystem.
If the storage subsystem is managed through multiple hosts, you can configure alert destinations for more than one host node. In this case, the storage management software eliminates duplicate storage subsystem notifications delivered to the same destination, and only one host (host name and IP address) is shown in the notifications.
In Example 4, the Human Resources storage subsystem is managed through both the Alpha and Beta hosts. Alert notifications
for Human Resources lists the host name and IP address of either Alpha or Beta, instead of duplicating the notifications and
listing both hosts.
