Viewing Storage Space Usage in Chart View
Chart View provides a visual representation of the free and used space for a system, controller, or your
entire storage space (all systems and controllers). Located on the right side of the Storage Dashboard
in the maxView main window, Chart View displays a pie chart of storage space usage.
To view storage space usage in Chart View, simply select the component in the Enterprise View (a
system, for instance); the chart view is updated immediately. To view more details about the use of
storage space on that component, move your mouse over any colored section of the pie chart; hover
text reveals the amount of space represented by that section, as shown in the gure below.

Notifying Users by Email About Status and Activity
You can set up maxView Storage Manager to send email messages (or notications) to one or more
email addresses when an event occurs on a system, such as the creation of a logical drive or the failure
of a disk drive. Email notications can help you monitor activity on your entire storage space from any
location, and are especially useful in storage spaces that include multiple systems running the maxView
Storage Manager Agent only. Email notications can also help ensure that urgent issues receive immediate
attention from the right people.
Follow the instructions in this section to:
• Set up email notications (see Setting Up Email Notications on page 93).
• Send a test email (see Sending a Test Message on page 96).
• Modify or remove an email recipient (see Modifying Recipient Information or Removing a Recipient
on page 97).
• Modify email server settings (see Modifying Email Server Settings on page 98).
• Create an email notication template (see Creating an Email Notication Template on page 98).
Setting Up Email Notications
This section describes how to set up email notications for one system. If you want to monitor multiple
systems by email, you must complete the tasks in this section for each one separately.
Before you begin, note this information:
• The address of your Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server (host name and domain, or TCP/IP
address)
