Common Setup Tasks Portlet
By default, the Common Setup Tasks portlet appears on the Home page as part of the Getting
Started portlet and the Settings page. If your package does not display this portlet on these pages
and you want it there, click
Add > Applications and put it there.
This portlet shows the setup status for the common tasks, such as:
•
SMTP Configuration
• File Servers
• Upload Firmware Images
The Status column shows whether the setup is complete (check mark) or is required (X). The
Requirement Tag column shows whether the setup is Optional, Recommended, or Required and a
tool tip describes each tag. Click the Edit action to modify a task’s settings or complete its setup.
SMTP Configuration
You can use the OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) messaging capabilities to communicate
with other users, but if you want to receive e-mails automated by actions, such as configuration file
backups, the OMNM application must have a mail account. The SMTP Configuration window
configures the e-mail server so the OMNM application can send such automated e-mails.
