Specifying SMTP credentials and system properties
Operations Orchestration Studio requires an SMTP server. Matrix infrastructure orchestration uses
Operations Orchestration during the execution of infrastructure orchestration requests notifying
users about the progress of infrastructure orchestration processes including approval, manual
operating system deployment, manual storage provisioning, disk scrubbing, storage removal and
notifications. To send these notifications, configure the Operations Orchestration workflows to send
email.
NOTE: Before infrastructure orchestration can send an email notification, an SMTP server must
be installed and configured either on the CMS where infrastructure orchestration and Operations
Orchestration are installed, or on a server that is accessible to the CMS.
SMTP credentials specified during Insight Management installation are added to the
HpioSmtpCredentials property. If these credentials are not supplied, the user name field
contains the string “username” and the password field is empty.
If the SMTP server requires authentication, the user name and password in HpioSmtpCredentials
are used. If the SMTP server does not require authentication, the user name and password are
ignored. The SMTP user name is required (it cannot be empty), even if the SMTP server does not
require authentication.
In Operations Orchestration on the CMS, set the following Operations Orchestration system
properties with the appropriate SMTP values:
NotesExample ValueName
If SMTP is on another server, replace 127.0.0.1 with the
server's IP address
127.0.0.1HpioSmtpHost
If the SMTP port is different than 25, replace 25 with
SMTP's port
25HpioSmtpPort
By default, the SMTP credentials supplied during installation
are used. If these values are not supplied, the user name
Administrator/passwordHpioSmtpCredentials
field contains the string “username” and the password field
is empty.
If SMTP credentials were not specified during Insight Management installation, enter them in OO
Studio. Select the System Accounts folder and select HpioSmtpCredentials. Click the lock icon
to check out the account for editing. Enter a user name and an optional password for the SMTP
server account. Click the lock icon a second time to check in the change.
