Alert Test Commands
You can test alerts using test commands. The racadm command has subcommands that test the different types of alert interfaces. These object ID sets cause
the firmware to execute the subcommand with the option that indicates the test alert type to test. The test message is preset in properties for each test alert
type. The types of alerts are email and trap.
The following subsection describes the command interfaces and the operation of the subcommand for each option.
