Configuring notification
This section describes steps to configure notification.
To configure notification
- On the Notifier Options panel, specify the mode of notification to be configured and then click Next.
You can configure VCS to generate SNMP (V2) traps on a designated server and send emails to designated recipients in response to certain events.
- If you chose to configure SNMP, specify information about the SNMP console and then click Next.
Do the following:
Click a field in the SNMP Console column and type the name or IP address of the console.
The specified SNMP console must be MIB 2.0 compliant.
Click the corresponding field in the Severity column and select a severity level for the console.
Click the + icon to add a field; click the - icon to remove a field.
Enter an SNMP trap port. The default value is 162.
- If you chose to configure SMTP, specify information about SMTP recipients and then click Next.
Do the following:
Type the name of the SMTP server.
Click a field in the Recipients column and enter a recipient for notification. Enter recipients as admin@example.com.
Click the corresponding field in the Severity column and select a severity level for the recipient.
VCS sends messages of an equal or higher severity to the recipient.
Click the + icon to add fields; click the - icon to remove a field.
- On the Notifier Network Card Selection panel, specify the network information and then click Next.
Do the following:
If the cluster has a ClusterService group configured, you can use the NIC resource configured in that service group or configure a new NIC resource for notification.
If you choose to configure a new NIC resource, select a network adapter for each node in the cluster.
The wizard lists the public network adapters along with the adapters that were assigned a low priority.
- Review the summary information and choose whether you want to bring the notification resources online when VCS starts and click Configure.
- Click Finish to exit the wizard.
