About storage email alerts
A software administrator can add his email account by running the Settings > Alerts > Email Software Add [Email Addresses] command to receive software alerts. If you have configured your email address to receive software alerts for a specific appliance, you will receive Appliance alerts like storage alerts, hardware monitoring alerts, and so on.
The storage alerts are generated in the following scenarios:
When a Resize or Move operation is performed on the appliance. Once the Resize or Move operation is complete, an alert is sent to the email address specifying the operation and result. An alerts is sent if the resize or move operations succeed or fail.
When Storage sanity check fails on the appliance. Storage sanity check runs daily and also runs as a part of storage manipulation operations. Storage sanity check helps to fix some of the storage issues or reports them.
A sample alert content is provided. This alert is generated when the AdvancedDisk partition was resized to 1 TB on host nb-appliance:
Alerts from NetBackup Appliance Host name: nb-appliance Operation: Resize AdvancedDisk 1 TB Status: Succeeded - NetBackup Appliance Alerts
The following sample alert is generated when the storage sanity check failed:
Alerts from NetBackup Appliance Host name: nb-appliance Operation: Storage sanity check Status: Failed Reason: Failed to mount the 'AdvancedDisk' partition '0'. A full file system check (fsck) needs to be performed on this partition. - NetBackup Appliance Alerts
