Frequently asked questions...

  • What if alerts are disabled?
    If you want administrators to receive notifications about important events that occur in the storage array, you must configure an alerting method.
  • How do I configure SNMP or syslog alerts?
    In addition to email alerts, you can configure alerts to be sent by Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps or by syslog messages.
  • Why are timestamps inconsistent between the array and alerts?
    When the storage array sends alerts, it does not correct for the time zone of the target server or host that receives the alerts. Instead, the storage array uses the local time (GMT) to create the timestamp used for the alert record. As a result, you might see inconsistencies between the timestamps for the storage array and the server or host receiving an alert.
