Configuring e-mail settings
To use the First Time Wizard to configure HP SIM to send e-mail notifications through automatic event
handling:
1. Enter the SMTP host name. The SMTP host is the outgoing e-mail server that the CMS uses to send e-mail
notifications.
2. In the Sender's e-mail address box, enter the e-mail address that the management server uses when
sending e-mail notifications.
3. (Optional) Select Send test email and enter recipients e-mail address.
Click Send test email now.
4. To authenticate your SMTP server, select Server Requires Authentication.
5. Enter the account user name and password in the corresponding boxes.
Note If you did not enter a valid Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) host, HP SIM notifies you that it cannot
send e-mail notifications. If you do not want to enter e-mail settings now, click OK, or to enter a valid SMTP
host, click Cancel.
NOTE: If the Server Requires Authentication option is selected, and you enter incorrect account
information, e-mail event notifications do not reach the intended recipients.

First Time Wizard summary
When you are finished entering information in the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) First Time Wizard,
review your selections on the Summary Page, and then click Finish to save them.
If you enabled automatic discovery or initiated Run discovery after the wizard finishes, discovery runs when
you exit the First Time Wizard. If you did not enable automatic discovery or the Run discovery once after
wizard finishes, discovery does not take place until you select Options→Discovery from the HP SIM menu,
and enable a discovery task or select a task and click Run Now. See “Configuring automatic discovery”
for more information.
