Managing E-mail Event Notification
3DM2 can notify you when the 3ware RAID controller requires attention,
such as when a disk unit becomes degraded and is no longer fault tolerant.
E-mail event notification can occur only while 3DM2 is running; therefore,
keep the 3DM2 process running in the background on the system that contains
the 3ware RAID controller.
When events occur, notification can be e-mailed to one or more recipients.
You can specify the type of events for which notifications are sent by
selecting the severity:
•
Information sends e-mails for all events.
•
Warning sends e-mail for events with severity of Warning and Error.
•
Error sends e-mail for events with severity of Error only.
Events are listed on the 3DM2
Alarms page.
You can set up event notification when you install 3DM2. You also can
change the event notification on the 3DM2 Settings page
.
To set up event notification
1 Click
3DM2 Settings on the menu bar.
Note: If you forget your password, you can uninstall 3DM2 and then
reinstall it. This will reset the password to the default password,
3ware.
Note: If you are using VMware, you will need to configure the VMware firewall to
allow outgoing email, as all ports are blocked by default. See “Configuring the
VMware Firewall to Allow Email Notification” on page 61
