Configuring e-mail settings
To configure HP SIM to send e-mail notifications through automatic event handling:
1.
Access the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) host and CMS e-mail settings through the First Time
Wizard or choose Options
→Events→Automatic Event Handling→Email Settings. The Email
Settings
page appears.
2.
Enter the SMTP host name. The SMTP host is the outgoing e-mail server that the CMS will use to send
e-mail notifications.
3.
Enter the e-mail address that the management server will use when sending e-mail notifications in the
Sender's e-mail address
box.
4.
To authenticate your SMTP server, select Server Requires Authentication.
5.
Enter the account user name and password in the corresponding boxes.
6.
If you are using the First Time Wizard, click Next to go to the next step.
Note If you did not enter a valid SMTP host, HP SIM notifies you that it will not be able to send e-mail
notifications. Click OK, if you do not want to enter e-mail settings now, or click Cancel and enter a
valid SMTP host.
If you are changing the e-mail settings from the Options
→Events→Automatic Event Handling→Email
Settings
page, click OK to save changes.
NOTE:
If the Server Requires Authentication option is selected, and you enter incorrect account
information, e-mail event notifications will not reach the intended recipients.
