Configuring Email Alert Settings Using RACADM
To send a test email to an email 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 email 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 provides filter masks for each event type. For instructions on
calculating the hex value for the filter mask you want to enable, see step 3 in Configuring SNMP Trap Alert
Destinations Using RACADM .
4. Enable email 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 email addresses.
5. Specify a destination email address to receive the email alerts:
racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertAddress <email address> -i
<index>
where<email address> is a valid email address, and <index> is the index value you specified in step 4.
6. Specify the name of the person receiving the email alert:
racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertEmailName <email name> -i
<index>
where <email name> is the name of the person or group receiving the email alert, and <index> is the index
value specified in step 4 and step 5. The email 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 email addresses to receive email alerts. To add more email 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.
