Configuring SMTP email server address settings using RACADM
To configure the SMTP email server, use one of the following:
• Using set command:
racadm set iDRAC.RemoteHosts.SMTPServerIPAddress <SMTP E-mail Server IP
Address>
• Using config command:
racadm config -g cfgRemoteHosts -o cfgRhostsSmtpServerIpAddr <SMTP E-mail
Server IP Address>
Configuring WS Eventing
The WS Eventing protocol is used for a client service (subscriber) to register interest (subscription) with a
server (event source) for receiving messages containing the server events (notifications or event
messages). Clients interested in receiving the WS Eventing messages can subscribe with iDRAC and
receive Lifecycle Controller job related events.
The steps required to configure WS eventing feature to receive WS Eventing messages for changes
related to Lifecycle Controller jobs are described in the Web service Eventing Support for iDRAC 1.30.30
specification document. In addition to this specification, see the DSP0226 (DMTF WS Management
Specification), Section 10 Notifications (Eventing) document for the complete information on the WS
Eventing protocol. The Lifecycle Controller related jobs are described in the DCIM Job Control Profile
document.
Monitoring chassis events
On the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s chassis, you can enable the Chassis Management and Monitoring setting in
iDRAC to perform chassis management and monitoring tasks such as monitoring chassis components,
configuring alerts, using iDRAC RACADM to pass CMC RACADM commands, and updating the chassis
management firmware. This setting allows you to manage the servers in the chassis even if the CMC is
not on the network. You can set the value to Disabled to forward the chassis events. By default, this
setting is set as Enabled.
NOTE: For this setting to take effect, you must ensure that in CMC, the Chassis Management at
Server setting must be set to Monitor or Manage and Monitor.
When the Chassis Management and Monitoring option is set to Enabled, iDRAC generates and logs
chassis events. The events generated are integrated into the iDRAC event subsystem and alerts are
generated similar to the rest of the events.
CMC also forwards the events generated to iDRAC. In case the iDRAC on the server is not functional,
CMC queues the first 16 events and logs the rest in the CMC log. These 16 events are sent to iDRAC as
soon as Chassis monitoring is set to enabled.
