HP StorageWorks XP Performance Advisor Software v4.6 User and Troubleshooting Guide (T1789-96094, June 2010)

IMPORTANT:
• By default, XP Performance Advisor dispatches Good Information alarm notifications. However,
if it is disabled, you must enable the Good Info Alarm Flag check box on the Email Settings screen
to receive the XP Alarm - Good Information Alarm notifications. For more information, see
“Configuring email and SNMP settings” on page 76.
• Edit is enabled only when you select the check boxes for resource records, for which you want to
configure alarm notification settings.
To configure email and SNMP notifications:
1. Click Alarms in the left pane.
2. Under the Alarm Configuration tab, select the check boxes for the resource records, for which
you want to provide the email and SNMP destinations.
You can also filter resource records in the Alarms table. For more information, see “Filtering
records in Alarms table” on page 123.
3. To receive an email notification, enter the email address in the text box under Email Destination.
By default, email notifications are sent to [e-mail], which is the common
destination email address for all alarm notifications. This email address is valid till:
• You specify a different destination email address on the Email Settings screen. The alarm
notifications generated after this change are redirected to the new destination email address.
You can also specify multiple destination email addresses. For more information, see “Con-
figuring email and SNMP settings” on page 76.
• You specify a different destination email address in the Email Destination box. The new email
address is applicable only for the set of records that you selected in the Alarms table.
To receive a SNMP notification, enter the IP address of the SNMP server that should receive and
process the notifications, in the text box under SNMP Destination.
NOTE:
You can download the SNMP MIB file from the Support screen and use it to view the SNMP
traps generated by XP Performance Advisor. Click Support in the title pane, and further
click the Performance Advisor Event MIB link to download the SNMP MIB file from the
Support screen. For more information about the SNMP feature, see the HP StorageWorks
XP Performance Advisor Software Installation Guide .
4. Click Edit when you complete providing the email and SNMP destination for the selected resource
records. The changes are updated in the XP Performance Advisor database and accordingly
reflected in the Email Destination box and the SNMP Destination box for the selected resource
records.
