HP 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools Switch Management User Guide 77
Using Call Home
The Call Home feature allows you to configure switches to send alerts and events to pagers and e-mail. You
can configure the types of events to cover and where to send the alerts. Use the Call Home Setup dialog
box (Figure 40) to configure call home parameters. To display the Call Home Setup dialog box, open the
Switch menu, select Call Home, and then select Setup.
IMPORTANT: The Call Home service provides an e-mail notification capability for the switch. This service
has no relationship with the HP Call Home feature, which notifies HP services.
Figure 40 Call Home Setup dialog box
Table 15 describes the fields of the Call Home Setup dialog box.
Table 15 Call Home Setup fields
Field Description
Primary SMTP: (active) (active) indicates that the Primary SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol) is the SMTP server that Call Home is going to try to use when
transmitting e-mail messages. Call Home operates as an SMTP sending
agent.
After any system configuration, the Primary SMTP server always becomes
the active SMTP, provided it is enabled and has a non-default address
defined (0.0.0.0 is the default).
Primary SMTP Server
Address:
The IP address of the primary (first) SMTP server.
Primary SMTP Server Port: The service port number that the primary SMTP server is listening on to
accept connections from SMTP sending agents.
Secondary SMTP: The second SMTP server. If the primary SMTP is not enabled/defined, or if
there is a failure in communicating with the primary SMTP server, the
Secondary SMTP server becomes the (active) SMTP server - the one used
by Call Home for the next attempt to transmit e-mail.
Secondary SMTP Server
Address:
The IP address of the secondary SMTP server.
