Conguring EMail Alert Settings Using RACADM
To send a test email to an email 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
NOTE: Only one lter mask may be set by both SNMP and email alerting. If you have already set a lter mask, do
not perform the task in step 3.
3. Specify the events for which alerts must be generated:
racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingFilterMask <mask value>
where <mask value> is a hexadecimal value between 0x0 and 0x and must be expressed with the leading 0x
characters. The Event Traps Filter Masks table provides lter masks for each event type. For instructions about calculating the
hex value for the lter mask you want to enable, see step 3 in the Conguring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations Using RACADM.
4. 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 destination email addresses that
can be congured.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Set up 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, perform tasks in
step 2 through 6.
NOTE: The commands in steps 2–6 overwrite any existing settings congured for the index that you specify (1–4).
To determine whether an index has previously congured values, type racadm getconfig -g cfgEmailAlert
— I
<index>. If the index is congured, values appear for the cfgEmailAlertAddress and cfgEmailAlertEmailName
objects.
