<h1>Using the Email Notification Manager</h1>


<p>The Email Notification Manager is a tool that you can use to notify users by
  email of events that occur on this (that is, the local) system. The user of
  the system types recipient names and email addresses in the email notification
  list. Each recipient in the list is notified of all or selected events that
  occur on the local system.</p>
<p>You can use the Email Notification Manager to:</p>
<ul>
  <li><a href="asmtpadd.htm">Add a recipient to the email notification list</a></li>
  <li><a href="asmtpdel.htm">Delete a recipient from the email notification list</a></li>
  <li><a href="asmtpmod.htm">Modify recipient properties in the email notification
    list</a></li>
  <li><a href="asmtptst.htm">Send a test message to a recipient in the email notification
    list</a></li>
  <li><a href="asmtpmon.htm">Monitor messages sent from the Email Notification
    Manager</a></li>
  <li><a href="asmtpcfg.htm">Configure the Email Notification Manager</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The Email Notification Manager is enabled by default. To disable the Email
  Notification Manager, click <b> <b>Actions</b> <img src="images/menuarow.gif" width="32" height="10" align="absbottom" border="0">
  Disable Email Notifications</b>. If you disable the Email Notification Manager,
  events are generated but users do not recieve email notification when
  the events occur.
<h2>An example</h2>
<p>You install SystemA in a lab with a HP Storage Manager subsystem. You run the HP Storage Manager on SystemA to monitor for events and problems. You want to monitor SystemA
  from your workstation but do not have HP Storage Manager installed. You open
  the SystemA Email Notification Manager from the HP 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 SystemA. </p>
<h2>The Email Notification Manager and its events</h2>
<p>Events monitored by the Email Notification Manager include the following:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Progress information, such as rebuilds, synchronizations, and migrations.
  </li>
  <li>Problems, such as failed physical drives and <a href="gpfa.htm">S.M.A.R.T.
    errors</a>. </li>
  <li>Changes to the local configuration, such as creating a hot-spare drive or
    defining a logical device.</li>
</ul>
<p>Each event has an <strong>event type</strong> 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. </p>
<p>When an event is generated on a system, the Email Notification Manager attempts
  to <a href="csmtpmsg.htm">send a message</a> to each recipient in the email
  notification list. If the Email Notification Manager successfully sends the
  message, it updates the &quot;<a href="asmtpmon.htm">Last message sent</a>&quot;
  column in the email notification list. If the Email Notification Manager does
  not successfully connect or send the message, the Email Notification Manager:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Updates the &quot;Last message sent&quot; column with a <img src="images/s_error.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="Red X icon">
    notifying you of a problem. </li>
  <li>Logs an event in the Email Notification Manager event viewer detailing why
    the message could not be sent.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Email Notification Manager interface</h2>
<p>The Email Notification Manager consists of the following:</p>
<dl>
  <dt>Toolbar</dt>
  <dd>Provides quick-path icons for common tasks.</dd>
  <dt>Email notification list</dt>
  <dd>Displays the recipients configured to receive email notifications.</dd>
  <dt>Email notification event viewer</dt>
  <dd>Displays status information for the Email Notification Manager.
    <p>In addition to displaying the events in the event viewer, the Email Notification
      Manager appends each event to a logging file, RAIDSMTP.LOG. If this file
      exceeds 200 KB, the HP Storage Manager copies the file to RAIDSMTP.OLD and creates
      a new RAIDSMTP.LOG. If there is a RAIDSMTP.OLD already, the HP Storage Manager overwrites
      it. The Email Notification Manager appends SMTP transport errors in a separate
      log file, SMTPERR.LOG.</p>
  </dd>
</dl>
