Setting up service alert for SAN File System

This topic provides an overview of configuring service alerts for SAN File System.

The Service Alert feature works as follows:

  1. The SAN File System raises an SNMP trap as the result of a detected error.
  2. IBM Director on the master console receives notification of the trap.
  3. IBM Director collects the trap and sends a specifically formatted e-mail to the specified system administrator.
    Note: When an alert sent by SAN File System, the system administrator must contact IBM Support Center for assistance.
To configure service alerts, you need to compile the MIBs for the SAN File System and the RSA II adapter, and you also need to configure Service Alerts. You can also setup up e-mail notification.
