Unisphere for PowerMax has alerts for component failures. These alerts are optional and not set by default. The intent of these alerts is to inform the user of issues they may be affected by. For example, failure of a front-end I/O module will cause ports to go offline.
Alerts will not be sent for failure of an internal component such as a back-end I/O module because the failure is transparent to the user. The system will call home to alert Dell Customer Support of the failure.
Enable the following alerts for component failures:
