To verify that your settings are valid, click the Test E-mail Settings button. Storage Mirroring for
Virtual Infrastructure will verify that e-mail notifications can be sent to the recipients you entered
using the configured e-mail server.
If you choose to disable e-mail notification for this job at a later time:
1. Select the job from the Monitor Protection window.
2. Click the Configure Protection button.
3. In the E-mail notifications area, click the Change button.
4. In the Configure e-mail notifications window, clear the checkboxes for all events in the
Notifications area.
5. Click Save.
Change VirtualCenter credentials
You can enter new credentials to be used when authenticating with VirtualCenter.
Click the Change
button in the VirtualCenter credentials area. The Set VirtualCenter credential
window will appear.
NOTE: If you receive the following error message after testing the e-mail notification, the
antivirus software on your SMVI server may be blocking the outbound e-mails.
“Failure sending mail. Unable to connect to the remote server. An
established connection was aborted by the software in your host
machine.”
In order to use automatic e-mail notification, you may need to do the following:
z Disable the anti-virus software
z Disable blocking of outbound e-mail messages
z Exclude VI_Service.exe from the processes that are blocked to send outbound
e-mail messages
Also consider that in many organizations, anti-virus software is administered centrally by
an IT department, who may periodically send the policy to override machine-specific
settings. You may need request that your IT department set the policy so that
VI_Service.exe is excluded from the processes that are blocked to send e-mail
messages.
In addition, you may need to open port 25 in your antivirus software to allow SMTP
e-mail.
NOTE: This area will not be available if you did not configure a VirtualCenter server. For more
information, see Connect to the VirtualCenter server on page 9.
