IBM XIV User Manual

v Email destinations are used for sending notifications via email. When defining a
new destination of type Email, either the email address of the recipient must be
specified in email_address or the user name must be specified in user (in this case
the email address of that user is used).
v SMS destinations are used for sending notifications via SMS to cellular phones.
When defining a new destination of type SMS, either the cellular phone number
of the destination must be specified in number or the user name must be
specified in user (in this case the cellular phone number of that user is used). To
allow correct formatting, this number should be separated into the area code
and the local number.
v SNMP destination are used for sending notifications by SNMP traps to SNMP
managers. When defining a new destination of type SNMP, the IP address of the
SNMP manager should be specified.
By default, when sending an email notification, all SMTP gateways specified in
Prioritizing SMTP Gateways are used, according to the order specified in that
command. It is possible to define that sending emails to a specific destination will
use specific SMTP gateway or gateways. This is done by specifying the smtpgws
parameter.
The same logic applies to sending SMS messages. By default, SMS gateways
specified in Prioritizing SMS Gateways are used, according to the order specified
in this command. It is possible to define that a sending messages to a specific SMS
destination will be done through specific SMS gateway or gateways.
