NOTE: The commands in steps 2–5 overwrites any existing settings congured for the index specied (1–4). To
determine whether an index has previously congured values, type: racadm getconfig -g cfgTraps -i
<index>. If the index is congured, values appear for the cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr and cfgTrapsCommunityName
objects.
6. To test an event trap for an alert destination, type:
racadm testtrap -i <index>
where <index> is a value 1–4 representing the alert destination you want to test.
If you are not sure of the index number, use:
racadm getconfig -g cfgTraps -i <index>
Conguring e-mail alert settings
When CMC detects a chassis event, such as an environmental warning or a component failure, it can be congured to send an e-
mail alert to one or more e-mail addresses.
You must congure the SMTP email server to accept relayed emails from the CMC IP address, a feature which is normally turned o
in most mail servers due to security concerns. For instructions to do this in a secure manner, see the documentation that was
provided with the SMTP server.
NOTE: If your mail server is Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, make sure that CMC domain name is congured for the
mail server to receive the email alerts from CMC.
NOTE: Email alerts support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The DRAC DNS Domain Name must be specied when using
IPv6.
If your network has an SMTP server that releases and renews IP address leases periodically, and the addresses are dierent, then
there is a duration when this property setting does not work due to change in the specied SMTP server IP address. In such cases,
use the DNS name.
Conguring e-mail alert settings using CMC web interface
To congure the e-mail alert settings using web interface:
1. In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview, and then click Alerts → E-mail Alert Settings.
2. Specify the SMTP email server settings and the email address(es) to receive the alerts. For information about the elds, see the
CMC Online Help.
3. Click Apply to save the settings.
4. Click Send under Test E-mail to send a test email to the specied email alert destination.
Conguring e-mail alert settings using RACADM
To send a test e-mail to an e-mail alert destination using RACADM:
1. Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC and log in.
2. Enable alert generation:
racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingEnable 1
3. Enable email alert generation:
racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertEnable 1 -i <index>
where <index> is a value between 1–4. CMC uses the index number to distinguish up to four congurable destination email
addresses.
4. Specify a destination email address to receive the email alerts:
racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertAddress <email address> -i <index>
where <email address> is a valid email address, and <index> is the index value you specied in step 4.
5. Specify the name of the person receiving the email alert:
racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertEmailName <email name> -i <index>
