Email Notifications for Failed Drives Dell OpenManage Array Manager 3.6
I'd like to get an e-mail notification when a drive fails. I see Events 571, then eventually Event 500 for the failed disk. Is there any way to do be notified of these events? I just stumbled upon seeing a drive fail after a reboot, when the system wouldn't start up.
I set up what I found on another post, the C:\DellSMTPNotify program in Alert Actions, but I do not think it notifies you when a drive fails.
Server Info
PowerEdge 2850
Windows 2003
RAID 5, with global hot spare
Dell PERC 4e/DI
Dell Open Manage Array Manager 3.6
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator 1.9
It doesn't let me install that version of OpenManageEssentials. It's a server running Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2. When I run windows/Microsoft update there is nothing in the list, it's all up to date.
I got a message "This Operating System or service pack is not supported. Please make sure you have the latest service pack isntalled for the Operating System you are using. For a list of supported operating systems, see the OpenManage Essentials Support Matrix"
Do I have to patch it first?
