You can choose to configure Storage Foundation to send event notifications to SNMP management consoles. You need to provide the SNMP management console name to be notified and message severity levels. Note that it is also possible to configure notification after installation.

 To configure the SNMP trap notification

2. Specify whether you want to configure the SNMP notification. Do one of the following:
   • To configure SNMP notification, press Enter.

     Do you want to configure SNMP notification? [y,n,q] (y)
