Adding and Configuring DRAC 5 Users 103
Testing e-mail Alerting
The RAC e-mail alerting feature allows users to receive e-mail alerts when
a critical event occurs on the managed system. The following example shows
how to test the e-mail alerting feature to ensure that the RAC can properly
send out e-mail alerts across the network.
racadm testemail -i 2
NOTE: Ensure that the SMTP and Email Alert settings are configured before testing
the e-mail alerting feature. See "Configuring E-Mail Alerts" on page 263 for more
information.
Testing the RAC SNMP Trap Alert Feature
The RAC SNMP trap alerting feature allows SNMP trap listener configurations
to receive traps for system events that occur on the managed system.
The following example shows how a user can test the SNMP trap alert feature
of the RAC.
racadm testtrap -i 2
Before you test the RAC SNMP trap alerting feature, ensure that the SNMP
and trap settings are configured correctly. See "testtrap" on page 337 and
"testemail" on page 336 subcommand descriptions to configure these
settings.
Enabling a DRAC 5 User With Permissions
To enable a user with specific administrative permissions (role-based
authority), first locate an available user index by performing the steps in
"Before You Begin" on page 100. Next, type the following command lines with
the new user name and password.
NOTE: See Table B-2 for a list of valid bit mask values for specific user privileges.
The default privilege value is 0, which indicates the user has no privileges enabled.
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o
cfgUserAdminPrivilege -i <index> <user privilege
