Configuring email notification

Configure the following for email notifications of alarms and events:

“Configuring the email server” (page 91)

“Configuring email recipients” (page 92)

IMPORTANT:

If a firewall is configured and blocks the network port used for sending email alerts,

emails will be blocked. See a list of ports used in HP StoreVirtual Storage in

“LeftHand OS TCP

and UDP port usage” (page 263)

.

NOTE:

Until email is fully configured, you will not receive notifications. Therefore, some

notifications may not be received while the management group is being configured.

Configuring the email server

When you configure a management group, you configure email notification for alarms and events
by configuring the email server to send messages and then adding email recipients to receive
messages based on severity. Update these settings later, if necessary, using the Email Tasks button
in the Events window for the management group.

NOTE:

Ensure that you configure email notification for each management group.

1.

In the navigation window, log in to the management group.

2.

In the tree, select Events

→Email.

3.

Click Email Tasks, and select Edit Email Settings.

4.

In the Server IP/Hostname field, enter the IP address or host name of your email (SMTP) server.
