SATARaid Configuration Menu

By clicking on the toolbox icon in the top left of the SATARaid GUI window, or right-clicking on the conductor icon in the bottom right of the computer screen (with other start-up icons), the user may configure SATARaid including customizing the settings for SMTP, E-mail, Notification, Event Level, Log File, Audio, and Popup.

The SMTP server is the server that is used to send e-mails. Normally, the network administrator knows what this name is. Both the name and domain must be entered.

The current SATARaid configuration may be sent via e-mail. Using the e-mail tab in the SATARaid Configuration Menu, the user may set the default e-mail address and subject line to where the configuration would be sent. This, however, can be overridden at the time of sending the email.

Notification: When different types of events occur, SATARaid may be configured to send notices to assigned individual e-mail addresses. Using the Notification tab, all e-mail addresses desired to receive the notices may be entered.

Event Levels: There are different types of e-mail notifications that may be sent which are set with the Event Level tab. The different levels are:

Log File: The log file is used to store event information received from all the Silicon Image RAID drivers. The log file is a text file and can be viewed with Notepad or SATARaid. Use the Log File tab to set where the log file should be stored and the name of the file as well.

Audio: The user may set different audio alerts for the different levels of events.
