Notifications for EMC Clariion - Disk status other than ok

Hi Shane,

1. Go to: Threshold Rules

2. Create a new rule based on > Threshold Rules.

3. Give it a name

4. Section = Storage Array

5. Category = Disk Drive Asset

CLARiiON drives usually are listed as x_x_x for example 0_0_0

6. Move the CLARiiON disks over to the "Selected" box.

7. Condition: Operational Status != OK (not equal to)

You should get an alert if you've set your mail address and groups up correctly.
If you haven't, do the following:

1. Provide email SMTP details under Settings > Server Setup: E-Mail

2. Go to: Settings > Manage Users > edit your account (admin) > add your mail address

3. Add Notifications by Group or Resource. If the CLARiiON is in a group with other EMC equipment or storage arrays then select that group instead.

4. @ Severity, chose Critical, Error  and Warning. That should be enough to trigger an alert when the Operational Status changes. Please Confirm.

5. Add yourself as the subscriber.

Let us know how it goes.

Deltona,

That is what I have done as of right now. Do you happen to know of what the disk statuses would be that are not OK? I know we might eventually run into them with it setup like that, but would like a list if possible.

There are a few standard SMI approved statuses and these are: OK, Degraded, Error and Stopping. You'll find these 4 on most any SMI/CIM provider.
Each manufacturer can add their own statuses that would be used as an added alert description. LSI have a total of 8 statuses. EMC only have these 4 last I checked.
