About Destination Profiles
A destination profile contains the required delivery information for an alert notification. Destination profiles are typically configured by the network administrator. At least one destination profile is required. You can configure multiple destination profiles of one or more types. You can use one of the predefined destination profiles or define a desired profile. If you define a new profile, you must assign a profile name.
Using alert groups you can select the set of Call Home alerts to be received by a destination profile (predefined or userdefines). Alert groups are predefined subsets of Call Home alerts supported in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. Different types of Call Home alerts are grouped into different alert groups depending on their type. You can associate one or more alert groups to each profile as required by your network.
To configure predefined destination profile messaging options using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
- Expand Switches, expand Events, and select Call Home in the Physical Attributes pane.
- Click the Profiles tab in the Information pane.
- Set the profile name, message format, message size, and severity level.
- Click in the Alert Groups column and select or remove an alert group.
- Click the Apply Changes icon to create this profile on the selected switches.
To configure a new destination-profile (and related parameters) using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
- Expand Switches, expand Events, and select Call Home in the Physical Attributes pane.
- Click the Profiles tab in the Information pane.
- Click the Create Row icon to add a new profile.
- Set the profile name, message format, size, and severity level.
- Click an alert group and select each group from the drop-down list that you want sent in this profile.
- Click the Apply Changes icon to create this profile on the selected switches.
