An example

You install SystemA in a lab with an iSCSI storage appliance. You add a management service on SystemA to monitor for events and problems. You want to monitor SystemA from your workstation but do not have Adaptec Storage Manager installed. You open the SystemA Email Notification Manager from the Adaptec Storage Manager and add your name and email address to the email notification list. You are notified by email of all problems and events that occur on the iSCSI storage appliance attached to SystemA.

The Email Notification Manager and its events

Events monitored by the Email Notification Manager include the following:

Each event has an event type indicating its severity: error, warning, or informational. You can configure a recipient to be notified of errors, errors and warnings, or errors, warnings, and informational events.

The Email Notification Manager logs events to a logging file, RAIDSMTP.LOG. If this file exceeds 200 KB, the Adaptec Storage Manager copies the file to RAIDSMTP.OLD and creates a new RAIDSMTP.LOG. If there is a RAIDSMTP.OLD already, the Adaptec Storage Manager overwrites it. The Email Notification Manager appends SMTP transport errors in a separate log file, SMTPERR.LOG.
