IBM Partner Pavilion Remote Supervisor Adapter - Manual (Page 100)

Use the fields in the Host Table section to define relationships between an IP
address and its corresponding host name in the event that your network DNS
server is unreachable. You can also use these mappings for frequently used
host names.
Note: The Remote Supervisor Adapter uses this table first when searching for
an address to host name mapping. If a match is not found, the data will
be requested from the DNS server. If the table contains an entry for a
given address, the host name defined in the table will override any
corresponding entry defined on the DNS server.
8. Press F3 until you return to the Network Interfaces/Protocols window.
Configuring SMTP
Complete the following steps to specify the IP address or host name of the Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server:
1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter. For more information, see “Accessing
the text-based interface through a Telnet connection” on page 65 or “Accessing
the text-based interface through a direct serial connection” on page 66.
2. In the Advanced System Management window, select Settings.
3. In the Settings window, select Network Interfaces/Protocols.
4. In the Network Interfaces/Protocols window, select SMTP. The SMTP window
opens.
5. Enter the host name of the SMTP server in the SMTP Server Host Name or IP
Address field. This field must be defined to enable e-mail alerts to be sent.
6. Press F3 until you return to the Network Interfaces/Protocols window.
Setting the Remote Supervisor Adapter and ASM processor clocks
The Remote Supervisor Adapter and ASM processor each contain their own
real-time clocks to independently time-stamp all events that are logged in the
battery-backed event logs. Setting one clock does not affect the settings of the
other clock, and each clock serves a separate purpose.
Alerts sent by e-mail, LAN, and SNMP use the real-time clock setting to time stamp
the alerts. The clock settings support Greenwich mean time (GMT) offsets and
daylight saving time (DST) for added ease-of-use for administrators managing
systems remotely over different time zones. You can remotely access the
battery-backed event log even if the system is turned off or disabled. This facilitates
immediate problem determination and resolution.
Complete the following steps to check the date and time settings on the Remote
Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor:
1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter. For more information, see “Accessing
the text-based interface through a Telnet connection” on page 65 or “Accessing
the text-based interface through a direct serial connection” on page 66.
2. For an xSeries 330 server: If you want to set the ASM processor, log in to the
ASM processor. For more information, see “Accessing remote adapters through
an ASM interconnect network” on page 67.
