Configuring the DRAC Alert Properties
DRACs can be configured to respond to alert conditions from the system's ESM or to other conditions
such as operating-system crashes or power failures.
DRACs offer the following types of alert actions:
• Alphanumeric paging (DRAC IIIs only) (See "Adding and Configuring DRAC Users" for information
about configuring this type of alert action.)
• Numeric paging (DRAC IIIs only) (See "Adding and Configuring DRAC Users" for information about
configuring this type of alert action.)
• E-mail (See "Adding and Configuring DRAC Users" for information about configuring this type of
alert action.)
• SNMP traps (See the following subsection for information about configuring this type of alert action.)
