Configuring E-Mail Alert Settings Using RACADM
To send a test e-mail to an e-mail alert destination using RACADM :
1. Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC and log in.
2. Enable alert generation:
racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingEnable 1
NOTE: Only one filter mask may be set by both SNMP and e-mail alerting. You may skip step 3 if you have
already set a filter mask.
3. Specify the events for which alerts must be generated:
racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingFilterMask <mask value>
where <mask value> is a hexadecimal value between 0x0 and 0xffffffff and must be expressed with the leading
0x characters. Table Event Traps Filter Masks
calculating the hex value for the filter mask you want to enable, see step 3 in
Destinations Using RACADM.
4. Enable e-mail alert generation:
racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertEnable 1 -i <index>
where <index> is a value between 1–4. CMC uses the index number to distinguish up to four configurable
destination e-mail addresses.
5. Specify a destination e-mail address to receive the e-mail alerts:
racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertAddress <email address> -i
<index>
where<email address> is a valid e-mail address, and <index> is the index value you specified in step 4.
6. Specify the name of the person receiving the e-mail alert:
racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertEmailName <email name> -i
<index>
where <email name> is the name of the person or group receiving the e-mail alert, and <index> is the index
value specified in step 4 and step 5. The e-mail name can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters, dashes,
underscores, and periods. Spaces are not valid.
7. Setup the SMTP host:
racadm config -g cfgRemoteHosts -o cfgRhostsSmtpServerIpAddr host.domain
where host.domain is the FQDN.
You can configure up to four destination e-mail addresses to receive e-mail alerts. To add more e-mail addresses,
repeat step 2 – step 6.
NOTE: The commands in steps 2–6 overwrite any existing settings configured for the index you specify (1–4).
To determine whether an index has previously configured values, type:xracadm getconfig -g
cfgEmailAlert — I <index> . If the index is configured, values appear for the cfgEmailAlertAddress
and cfgEmailAlertEmailName objects.
