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

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>
where <email name> is the name of the person or group receiving the email alert, and <index> is the index value specied in step
4 and step 5. The email name can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters, dashes, underscores, and periods. Spaces are not valid.
6 Setup the SMTP host:
racadm config -g cfgRemoteHosts -o cfgRhostsSmtpServerIpAddr host.domain
where host.domain is the FQDN.
You can congure up to four destination email addresses to receive email alerts. To add more email addresses, repeat step 2 – step 5.
NOTE
: The commands in steps 2–5 overwrite any existing settings congured for the index you specify (1–4). To determine
whether an index has previously congured values, type:xracadm getconfig -g cfgEmailAlert — I <index> . If
the index is congured, values appear for the cfgEmailAlertAddress and cfgEmailAlertEmailName objects.
For more information, see the RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC and CMC available at dell.com/support/manuals.
