548 IBM System Storage DS3000: Introduction and Implementation Guide
Define email alert recipients
Alerts can be defined for a single DS3000 storage subsystem, all out-of-band managed
storage subsystems, all in-band managed storage subsystems or all subsystems managed
by a single management station. This section describes those settings.
Example C-7 shows how to define an email alert recipient for a single DS3200.
Example: C-7 SMcli - define email alert recipient for single system
amazon:~ # SMcli -a email:ds3200@nile.rivers.local -n "DS3200"
SMcli completed successfully.
amazon:~ #
To define a email recipient for an in-band or out-of-band managed storage subsystem, specify
the parameter -r followed by direct_sa or host_sa for out-of-band or in-band managed
systems respectively . It is not necessary to use a parameter to specify a storage subsystem
here. Example C-8 shows an email recipient for all in-band managed storage subsystems.
Example: C-8 SMcli - Email recipient for a group of storage subsystems
amazon:~ # SMcli -a email:ds3000-inband@nile.rivers.local -r host_sa
SMcli completed successfully.
amazon:~ #
To sent alerts generated by any single subsystem that is defined in the configuration file of
Storage Manager, use the command shown in Example C-9
Example: C-9 SMcli - email alert recipient for all subsystems
amazon:~ # SMcli -a email:ds3000@nile.rivers.local -r host_sa
SMcli completed successfully.
amazon:~ #
Global email alert recipients are configured by omitting the target specification like -r host_sa
or a hostname. Example C-10 Shows a global email recipient configuration.
Example: C-10 SMcli - configure global email recipient
amazon:~ # SMcli -a email:dsx000@nile.rivers.local
SMcli completed successfully.
amazon:~ #
Note: An email server as shown in , “Define the mail server and email address to send out
the email alerts” on page 547 should be defined. Without a mail server the local system
running the Storage Manager will be used to sent email alerts. That might not always be
possible.
