Email Alerts (Configuration)
This page is used to set up details of the email servers that will be used to route messages about
the HP StoreOnce Backup System and to specify up to eight email recipients. Messages are
generated if a disk fails or reaches its threshold capacity, if the system reboots, if there are network
problems or if there is a critical hardware failure.
The HP StoreOnce Backup System uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), which is the
established standard for transferring mail over the internet. Microsoft Exchange has a virtual SMTP
server available which can be used to receive these emails and forward onward if necessary.
UNIX and Linux operating systems have a Sendmail program included. Sendmail uses the SMTP
protocol to receive and, if necessary, forward e-mail messages.
To configure email settings, the HP StoreOnce Backup System must be on the same network as an
SMTP server that it can use.
