Setting Up Status Notifications
You can set up Xsan to send an email or dial a pager to notify you or other
administrators when:
A controller switches to its backup
Â
A Fibre Channel connection fails
Â
Free space on a volume falls below a specific percentage
Â
A user or group exceeds the designated soft quota
Â
A serial number is about to expire
Â
To send email notifications outside the local network, the controller needs access to an
SMTP server.
To have Xsan send status notifications:
1
Open Xsan Admin and select Overview in the SAN Assets list.
2
Choose Edit Notifications Settings from the Action (gear) pop-up menu.
3
To add a contact, click the Add (+) button and enter an email address.
4
If the address is for an account that will forward the notification as a text message,
click the checkbox in the Text Msg column.
5
Choose the conditions that cause a notification to be sent (next to “Notify if”).
6
Enter a sender name.
7
Enter the mail server address in the SMTP Server field.
8
To send a test message to all recipients, click Send Test Notification.
9
Adjust settings as necessary and then click OK.
