2.4.1 email Notifications

The MSA controller can send electronic mail to a designated address when there is an event
requiring attention. MSA2212fc controllers configure event notification through the MSA GUI,
not through the command line. MSA2312fc controllers add CLI commands. This following
sections describe how to enable this functionality.

2.4.1.1 GUI Method

1.

Start the MSA GUI by pointing a browser at http://MSAIPaddress and log in with the manage
username and password.

2.

Select MANAGE

EVENT NOTIFICATION. In the initial notification summary screen, click

the button to enable email alerts, and check the boxes corresponding to the desired alert
levels (Informational, Warning, Critical).

3.

Select Change Notification Settings.

4.

Select Email Configuration on the left side.

5.

Fill in up to four email addresses for notifications. If you want the mail to come from
SenderName@DomainName, enter Domain Name and Sender Name.

6.

The address of the email server must also be configured. This address must be accessible to
the MSA based on the IP address and gateway configuration settings of the email server.
The email server can be one of the HP SFS servers, or another mail server already configured
on the network.

7.

Check the Change Email Alerts Configuration box.

8.

To test that your configuration, use the Send Test Email box. If it returns a success message
and the email is received by the designated address, you are finished with this MSA. If an
error message is returned, verify that your mail server configuration is correct as described
below.

2.4.1.2 CLI Method

MSA 2312fc controllers use the CLI command set email-parameters to configure email
alerts. The usage of the command is:

#

set email-parameters server server domain domain email-list email-addresses notification-level

none|info|warn|crit [sender sender]

To verify the configuration, use the show email-parameters command. To send a test
message, use the test notification command.

2.4.1.3 Mail Server Configuration

The MSA can send email through an established mail server. HP SFS servers can also be set up
to relay mail from the MSA2000 controllers as follows:
