Configuring Mail Server and Sender Address

Use this option to specify e-mail alert settings for every storage subsystem in the management domain. The e-mail alert settings you can configure globally are the SMTP mail server name and e-mail sender address. The system will use the alert settings when sending e-mail critical alert messages about storage subsystems in this management domain.

Note: No global settings are required for the SNMP trap messages. Traps sent to a Network Management Station or other SNMP server are standard network traffic and security issues are handled by a system or network administrator.
