are output to the Device Manager trace log file. For details about the Device Manager trace log file,
see section
10-2 . Also, if the Device Manager server service stops before the Device Manager
server sends an email about an alert, the email will not be sent. In this case, even if the Device
Manager server service is started again, the Device Manager server will not send the email that has
not been sent. Start the Device Manager server service, and then execute the GetAlerts
command from the CLI or use the alert management function of web client, to make sure that
actions have been taken for every alert.
If you set up an environment or perform maintenance for a storage subsystem that has already
been registered in the Device Manager server, the storage subsystem might generate many alerts.
As such, HP recommends that you disable the email notification function during such tasks.
The users who receive emails need to use email software that supports Unicode (UTF-8) encoding
because, when sending an email, the Device Manager server sets the character encoding of the
email to Unicode (UTF-8).
