The array will send several emails for the power down and you may see the “too many alerts” in addition to several others. However, it’s likely that the too many alerts was during the power up, not the power down. If the SMTP server is unavailable during the power down, then those alerts will not be received because the array will have no way to send them. In a full datacenter power outage, you probably won’t see many alerts because the network switches, routers, servers, etc all go down immediately, while the array is reacting and powering down for a few minutes after the power goes out. There’s simply no way for the emails to make it out.
Hi,  We are running a CX4-120 SAN.  Due to power failure of our site, the SAN is down (From log file it seems not gracefully) and restart after the power is back.  We don't get any notification from the SAN.  Is it correct ? If not, what should be the right notification message ?  Thanks  Message was edited by: TonyJK
No alert notification during power outage !
