Adaptec Storage Manager supports an audible alarm which is triggered on the local system when a Warning- or Error-level event occurs on any system in the Enterprise View. The alarm is a series of beeps, which sound every five minutes until the problem is resolved.
The alarm is disabled by default, but can be enabled on any system. You can also change the frequency and duration of the alarm.
In the Enterprise View, select the system you want.
In the menu bar, click Actions, select Agent Actions, select Alarm Actions, then click Enable.
The alarm is enabled for that system.
To disable an alarm, repeat Steps 1 and 2, selecting Disable in Step 2.
Caution! When the alarm is disabled, no audible signal sounds when a Warning- or Error-level event occurs on the system.
Ensure that the speakers on your local system are not muted.
In the Enterprise View, click on your local system.
In the menu bar, click Actions, then select Agent actions.
Select Alarm actions, then click Test alarm.
The alarm sounds.
To stop the test, click OK.
When a Warning- or Error-level event occurs, you can silence the alarm on your local system while you fix the problem. To silence the alarm, click the Silence button on the Adaptec Storage Manager tool bar.
Alternatively, in the menu bar, click Actions, select Agent actions, select Alarm actions, then click Test alarm.
