Broadcasting Event Alerts to Users

You can configure the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent to send event alerts about a specific system to all users who are logged into your storage space. You might want to do this if your storage space is not managed by a dedicated person, or if that particular system is off-site or not connected to a monitor. Event alerts signal everyone working on the storage space that a system requires technical assistance.

When you set Adaptec Storage Manager to broadcast event alerts, all logged-in users receive messages about all types of events. In Windows, these alerts appear as pop-up messages; in all other operating systems, these alerts appear as console messages.

Note! When enabled, event alerts occur independent of event notifications and email notifications.

To enable event alerts:

  1. On the tool bar, click the Configure button, select the system you want, then click General Settings. (Show Me!)

The Adaptec Storage Manager Agent General Settings window opens for that system.

  1. Select Broadcast events to logged-in users, then click Save changes.

  2. Restart Adaptec Storage Manager to apply the change.
