Rapitrap; Email Alert - HP StorageWorks MSA 2/8 - SAN Switch User Manual

Using Fabric Watch
management software is a third party product. Configure the software to receive
trap information from the network device. Also configure the SNMP agent on the
switch to send the trap to the management station with the
command. For more information on the
StorageWorks Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide.
An SNMP trap forwards the following information to an SNMP management
station:
This alarm stores event information for SAN managers, but does not actively alert
SAN managers to events.

RapiTrap

RapiTrap actively alerts SAN managers to events. Once you enable RapiTrap,
Fabric Watch forwards all event information to a designated proxy switch. (The
host API automatically configures the proxy switch based on firmware version.)
The switch then forwards the information to a server and alerts the SAN manager
to event activity. Third party applications that use the HP API determine how
RapiTrap presents alarms to the user.

Email Alert

Email alert sends information about a switch event to a specified email address.
Email alert can send information about any error from any element, area, and
class. The email specifies the threshold and describes the event, much like an error
message. You must use the
