Figure 7-50 shows a typical EMW window highlighting which units are in an Optimal state and
which require attention. Double-clicking any one of the units will launch the Subsystem
Management window (SMW).

Configuring e-mail or SNMP alert notifications in EMW
After you add devices to the management domain, you can set up alert notifications to report
critical events on the storage subsystems. The following alert-notification options are
available:
Notification to a designated network management station (NMS) using Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) traps
Notification to designated e-mail addresses
You can only monitor storage subsystems within the management domain. If you do not
install the Event Monitor service, the Enterprise Management window must remain open. If
you close the window, you will not receive any alert notifications from the managed storage
subsystems. See the Enterprise Management window online help for additional information.
Alert notification with SNMP traps
To set up alert notification to a Network Management Station (NMS) using SNMP traps,
perform the following steps:
1. Extract the downloaded Storage Manager image file onto an NMS. You need to set up the
designated management station only once.
2. Copy the SMxx.x.MIB file from the SMxxMIB directory to the NMS.
3. Follow the steps required by your NMS to compile the management information base
(MIB) file. (For details, contact your network administrator or see the documentation
specific to your particular storage management product.)
4. Select Storage subsystem  Edit  Configure alerts from the Enterprise Management
window and complete the entries in the SNMP tab.
