Configure, enable, and test e-mail notification

Perform this procedure to configure, enable, and test e-mail and simple mail transfer protocol

(SMTP) addresses to receive notification of switch (and other product) events. Configure and test

procedures are performed at the HAFM appliance. E-mail notification is enabled for each switch at

the HAFM application.

To configure, enable, and test e-mail server addresses:

1. Minimize the Hardware View and return to the HAFM application.

2. At the HAFM application main window, select Monitor > Event Notification > E-mail. The E-mail

Event Notification Setup dialog box is displayed (Figure 23).

3. To enable or disable e-mail notification, click the Enable Email Event Notification checkbox.

4. Enter the IP address or DNS host name of the SMTP server in the E-mail Server field. Use 64 or

fewer alphanumeric characters. HP recommends that the IP address be used.

5. Enter the e-mail address to which e-mail replies should be sent in the Reply field.

6. At the Summary Interval field, enter the length of time the application should wait between

notifications. Select seconds, minutes, or hours from the associated drop-down list.

Notifications are combined into a single e-mail and sent at each interval setting. An interval

setting of zero will cause notifications to be sent immediately.

IMPORTANT: Setting too short of an interval can cause the recipient's e-mail inbox to fill

very quickly.

7. To send a test e-mail, enter the e-mail address to which the test e-mail should be sent in the Send

to field, or click Send to all users enabled for notification.

8. Click the Send Test E-mail to test the e-mail server.

A message stating whether or not the server was found is displayed. If the server was not found,

verify that the server address was entered correctly and that the server is running.

9. click User List to specify which users will receive e-mail notification.

The HAFM Server Users dialog box displays. Select the check box in the Email column for each

user you want to receive e-mail notification.
