HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide (Web Version) (TK981-96004, May 2014)

1. Setting up the SMTP server

Set the SMTP server so that the Device Manager server can connect to the SMTP server. Follow

the procedure for setting the SMTP server to be used.

2. Registering recipients of email alerts

In the Device Manager GUI, register the users who will receive emails.

3. Setting properties for reporting alerts

Set the SMTP server information and the email address from which alerts are reported as properties

of the Device Manager server.

4. Registering an SMTP authentication user account (when SMTP authentication is used)

authentication user account has already been registered due to event notification, you do not

have to register it again.

5. Customizing email alert template (optional)

Edit the template file as necessary, and set the email output contents.

NOTE:

• Device Manager sends email only once when an alert is issued. If the Device Manager server fails

to send an email, the same email will not be sent again. Information on an alert and email address

of the intended destination of this email, are output to the Device Manager trace log file.

• If the Device Manager server service stops before the Device Manager server sends an email about

an alert, the email will not be sent. In this case, even if the Device Manager server service is started

again, the Device Manager server will not send the email that has not been sent. After the Device

Manager server service is started again, execute the GetAlerts command from the CLI or use

the alert management function from the GUI, to make sure that actions have been taken for every

alert.

• When you create environments or perform maintenance on storage systems that have already

been registered in the Device Manager server, the storage systems might generate a lot of alerts.

HP recommends that you disable the email notification function beforehand by specifying false

for the server.mail.enabled.storagesystem property of the Device Manager server.
