Reminders pane

You can view the Reminders pane, which lists optional but important configuration tasks that you might not have performed during application setup. The five highest-severity reminders are listed for the selected storage system or active/active pair of storage systems.

Reminders pane for individual storage systems

When you select an individual storage system from the console tree, the five highest-severity reminders for that storage system are listed in the Reminders pane. Each reminder has an

button that you can click to link to a corresponding page for performing the task. The severity levels for reminders are Info, Warning, and Critical.

The following table lists and describes the reminders that might be listed, in order of increasing severity.

Reminder name	Condition	Severity

Provide SNMP contact info	Contact information has not been provided for SNMP.	Info
Enable autosupport	AutoSupport has not been configured.	Info

Reminders pane for active/active pairs

When you select an active/active pair from the console tree, the five highest-severity reminders for that pair or for the nodes of the pair are listed in the Reminders pane. Each reminder has an

button that you can click to link to a corresponding page for performing the task. The severity levels for reminders are Info, Warning, and Critical.

The Reminders pane for an active/active pair uses the same reminders as for an individual storage system.

on the header of the Reminders pane, the Reminders Properties dialog box is displayed, where you can dismiss reminders.
