3.9.1 Notifications
It is important to correct any issues that are reported by your IBM Spectrum Virtualize system
as soon as possible. Configure your system to send automatic notifications when a new event
is reported. To avoid monitoring for new events that use the management GUI, select the type
of event that you want to be notified about, for example, restrict notifications to events that
require immediate action.
You can use email, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), or syslog types of
notifications. If your system is within warranty, or if you use a hardware maintenance
agreement, configure your Storwize V5000 system to send email events to IBM directly if an
issue that requires hardware replacement is detected. This mechanism is called
Call Home.
