Which alerting method would be configured using the SANtricity System Manager setup wizard?

The SANtricity System Manager initial setup wizard guides an administrator through the essential first-time configuration steps for an E-Series storage array. One of the dedicated steps in this wizard is "Configure Alerts," which specifically prompts for the configuration of email notifications. This involves entering SMTP server details and recipient email addresses. While other alerting methods like SNMP and Syslog are available, they are configured separately through the main System Manager interface (Settings > Alerts) after the initial setup wizard has been completed.

A. Syslog: Syslog alerting is a valid feature but is configured under the main settings menu after the initial setup wizard is finished, not within the wizard itself.

B. SNMP: SNMP trap configuration is performed in the Settings > Alerts section of the System Manager GUI, subsequent to completing the initial setup wizard.

C. Web Services Proxy: The Web Services Proxy is an API endpoint for programmatic management and monitoring; it is not a direct alerting method configured through the alerts setup wizard.

The documentation explicitly states: "The Configure Alerts page lets you set up email alerts so you can be notified of storage array problems... You can configure other types of alerts

such as SNMP traps and syslog

after you complete the setup wizard." This confirms that only email is part of the wizard.
