Email alerts are available only to servers that have the SUNWsamfsr and SUNWsamfsu packages installed locally.
The Email Alerts system informs a user of certain events or conditions by generating a message and sending it to the user’s email address.
You can configure the SAM-QFS Manager software to automatically send email notifications to recipients when certain events occur. When you create a notification, you must provide an email address for the intended recipient of the notification. Every event that triggers a notification, except for the file system overflow event, applies to archiving file systems.
The ’root’ user is the default subscriber for all email alerts.
If the error condition persists, a repeat email is sent every two hours. This prevents flooding the recipient’s mailbox with emails sent repeatedly for the same error condition.
You can set up the system so that one or more of the events described in the following table triggers a notification.
Event |
Description |
---|---|
Library or Drive is Down |
One or more devices are unusable by the file system. |
Archiving is Interrupted |
The software is unable to complete archiving operations. An email message is sent if the archiver is interrupted for any of the following reasons:
|
Requested Volume is Unavailable |
Media devices need to be imported or manually loaded to support archiving or staging. |
Recycling is Complete |
The recycler has identified one or more tape volumes that contain large proportions of expired archive copies. The recycler has finished removing the expired copies from the volumes. You can now either export or relabel the tape volume. |
Recovery Points Error Recovery Points Warning |
The creation of a recovery point for a file system was interrupted. An email message is sent if the recovery point fails or if the software attempts to run a disaster recovery script before creating the recovery point and the software encounters any of the following conditions:
|
No Space Available on File System |
The file system is full. There is no space available for storage use. |
File System Exceeds its High Water Mark |
The software has detected that the space consumed by the file system exceeds the high water mark setting. |
Note - If you have the SUNWsamfsr and SUNWsamfsu packages installed locally on a server, and you wish to enable notifications through the browser interface, be aware that the software automatically defines the following value in the notify=filename directive of the archiver.cmd file:
/etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/scripts/archiver.sh
If you manually change this value, the browser interface cannot send archiver-related notifications.
