b. Add at least one user to receive alert notifications.
The email address you configure for a user is the address the BMC sends alert notifications to. For
example, you could add a generic user, such as "notification-user," and use the email address of a
technical support team email distribution list.
3. Configure the LAN destination for alerts.
a. Select Settings > Platform Event Filters > LAN Destinations.
b. Configure at least one LAN destination.
▪ Select Email as the Destination Type.
▪ For BMC Username, select a user name that you added earlier.
▪ If you added multiple users and want all of them to receive notification emails, you must add a LAN
Destination for each user.
c. Send a test alert.
4. Configure alert policies so you can define when and where the BMC sends alerts.
a. Select Settings > Platform Event Filters > Alert Policies.
b. Configure at least one alert policy for each LAN destination.
▪ For Policy Group Number, select 1.
▪ For Policy Action, select Always send alert to this destination.
▪ For LAN Channel, select 1.
▪ In the Destination Selector, select the LAN destination for the policy.
5. Configure event filters to direct alerts for different event types to the appropriate users.
a. Select Settings > Platform Event Filters > Event Filters.
b. For Alert Policy Group Number, enter 1.
c. Create filters for every event you want the Alert Policy Group to be notified about.
▪ You can create event filters for power actions, specific sensor events, or all events.
▪ If you are uncertain which events to monitor, select All Sensors for Sensor Type and All Events
for Event Options. If you receive unwanted notifications, you can change your selections later.
Optional: Enable node encryption
If you enable node encryption, the disks in your appliance can be protected by secure key
management server (KMS) encryption against physical loss or removal from the site. You
must select and enable node encryption during appliance installation and cannot unselect
node encryption once the KMS encryption process starts.
What you'll need
Review the information about KMS in the instructions for administering StorageGRID.
About this task
An appliance that has node encryption enabled connects to the external key management server (KMS) that is
configured for the StorageGRID site. Each KMS (or KMS cluster) manages the encryption keys for all
appliance nodes at the site. These keys encrypt and decrypt the data on each disk in an appliance that has
node encryption enabled.
