5.10.1  Notifications menu
IBM Storwize V7000 can use SNMP traps, syslog messages, and Call Home email to notify 
you and the IBM Support Center when significant events are detected. Any combination of 
these notification methods can be used simultaneously.
Notifications are normally sent immediately after an event is raised. However, events can 
occur because of service actions that are performed. If a recommended service action is 
active, notifications about these events are sent only if the events are still unfixed when the 
service action completes.
SNMP notifications
SNMP is a standard protocol for managing networks and exchanging messages. The system 
can send SNMP messages that notify personnel about an event. You can use an SNMP 
manager to view the SNMP messages that are sent by IBM Storwize V7000. 
To view the SNMP configuration, use the System window. Point to the Settings icon and click 
Notification → SNMP (see Figure 5-54).
