Configuring E-mail, Syslog, and Autosupport notification

Enabling Autosupport notification on your filer

To enable Autosupport notification on your filer, you must set up the notification through the SnapDrive add-in Windows 2000 Management Console. This will set up filer Autosupport for your virtual disks.

SnapDrive enables you to set up e-mail notification and enable filer auto support in the event of a SnapDrive message or filer error. When you set up notification settings, you can specify the following information:

Whether or not to send e-mail notification, and where to send it
What types of messages to report
Whether to allow a subset of events to be posted to the filer's autosupport.
Note
The Autosupport daemon monitors the filer's operations and sends automatic messages to Network Appliance Technical Support to alert technical support to potential filer problems. If necessary, Network Appliance Technical Support contacts you at the E-mail address that you specified to help resolve a potential system problem. The Autosupport daemon is enabled by default on the filer. For additional information, see the Data ONTAP 6.3 SAN System Administrator's Guide.

To use SnapDrive to enable Autosupport for your virtual disks, see the SnapDrive 2.0 Installation and Administration Guide.
