Dell EMC PowerVault MD 34XX/38XX Series Storage Arrays Administrator's Guide

Configuring alert notifications for a disk pool

You can configure the MD storage manager to send alert notifications when the unconfigured (free) capacity of a disk pool is reaching a specified percentage. You can modify the alert notification settings after creating a disk pool.

1. In AMW, select the Storage & Copy Services tab.
2. Select the disk pool.
3. From the menu bar, select Storage > Disk Pool > Change > Settings.
   The Change Disk Pool Settings dialog is displayed.
4. In the Change Warning Thresholds area, select the check box corresponding to a critical warning notification.
   You also can select the check box corresponding to an early warning notification.

   NOTE: The early warning notification is available only after you select the critical warning notification.
5. Select or type a value to specify a percentage of usable capacity.
   When the unconfigured (free) capacity in the disk pool reaches the specified percentage, an alert notification in the form of e-mail messages and SNMP trap messages are sent to the destination addresses that are specified in the Configure Alerts dialog. For more information about how to specify the destination addresses, see Configuring Alert Notifications.
6. Click OK.
