Configuring E-mail Alerts
When the CMC detects a chassis event, such as an environmental warning or
a component failure, it can be configured to send an e-mail alert to one or
more e-mail addresses.
Table 11-1 provides an overview of the events that trigger e-mail and SNMP
alerts. For information on SNMP alerts, see "Configuring SNMP Alerts."
You can add and configure e-mail alerts using the Web interface or
RACADM.
Using the Web Interface
NOTE: To add or configure e-mail alerts, you must have Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege.
1 Log in to the CMC Web interface.
2 Select Chassis in the system tree.
3 Click the Alert Management tab. The Chassis Events page appears.
4 Enable alerting:
a Select the check boxes of the events for which you want to enable
alerting. To enable all events for alerting, select the
Select All check
box.
b Click Apply to save your settings.
5 Click the Email Alert Settings sub-tab. The Email Alert Destinations
page displays.
6 Specify the SMTP server IP address:
a Locate the SMTP (Email) Server field, and then type the SMTP
hostname or IP address.
NOTE: You must configure the SMTP e-mail server to accept relayed
emails from the CMC's IP address, a feature which is normally turned off
in most mail servers due to security concerns. For instructions as to how
to accomplish this in a secure manner, refer to the documentation that
came with your SMTP server.
