3DM 2 Online Help

Managing E-mail Event Notification
3DM 2 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 only occur while 3DM 2 is running, so it is recommended that the 3DM 2 process be left 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 will be sent by selecting the severity:

| Information will send e-mails for all events

| Warning will send e-mail for events with severity of Warning and Error.

| Error will send e-mail for events with severity of Error only.

Events are listed on the 3DM 2 Alarms page.
Event notification can be set up during 3DM 2 installation, and can be changed on the 3DM 2 Settings page.

| 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

To set up event notification

1 | Click 3DM 2 Settings on the menu bar.

2 | In the E-mail Notification section of the 3DM 2 Settings page, enter or change the settings you want.

| Enable or Disable all notifications.

| Set the severity level of events for which e-mail notifications are sent.

| Specify the email address of the sender. This will appear in the “From” field of the e-mail.

| Enter the e-mail address(es) to which notifications are sent. (Separate multiple addresses with a comma (,) or a semicolon (;).

| Enter the SMTP server name or IP of the mail server for the computer where the 3ware controller is installed.

| If your email server requires authentication, enter the Mail Server Login and Password.

3 | Click Save E-mail Settings.
