Configuring Email Alert Settings - Dell EMC PowerEdge VRTX User Manual

b. Configure using severity as a parameter. For example, all informational events in storage category are assigned poweroff as
action, and email and SNMP as notifications: racadm eventfilters set -c cmc.alert.storage.info -n
email,snmp
c. Configure using subcategory as a parameter. For example, all configurations under the licensing subcategory in the audit
category are assigned poweroff as action and all notifications are enabled: racadm eventfilters set -c
cmc.alert.audit.lic -n all
d. Configure using subcategory and severity as parameters. For example, all Information events under the licensing
subcategory in the audit category are assigned poweroff as action and all notifications are disabled: racadm
eventfilters set -c cmc.alert.audit.lic.info -n none
4. Enable traps alerts:
racadm config -g cfgTraps -o cfgTrapsEnable 1 -i <index>
where <index> is a value between 1–4. CMC uses the index number to distinguish up to four configurable destinations for
traps alerts. Destinations may be specified as appropriately formatted numeric addresses (IPv6 or IPv4), or Fully-Qualified
Domain Names (FQDNs).
5. Specify a destination IP address to receive the traps alert:
racadm config -g cfgTraps -o cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr <IP address> -i <index>
where <IP address> is a valid destination, and <index> is the index value specified in step 4.
6. Specify the community name:
racadm config -g cfgTraps -o cfgTrapsCommunityName <community name> -i <index>
where <community name> is the SNMP community to which the chassis belongs, and <index> is the index value
specified in steps 4 and 5.
You can configure up to four destinations to receive traps alerts. To add more destinations, do the tasks in steps 2–6.
NOTE: The commands in steps 2–6 overwrites any existing settings configured for the index specified (1–4). To
determine whether an index has previously-configured values, type: racadm getconfig -g cfgTraps -i
<index>. If the index is configured, values appear for the cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr and cfgTrapsCommunityName
objects.
7. To test an event trap for an alert destination, type:
racadm testtrap -i <index>
where <index> is a value between 1–4 representing the alert destination you want to test.
If you are not sure about the index number, run the following command:
racadm getconfig -g cfgTraps -i <index>

Configuring Email Alert Settings

When CMC detects a chassis event, such as an environmental warning or a component failure, it can be configured to send an email
alert to one or more email addresses.
Configure the SMTP email server to accept relayed emails from the CMC IP address, a feature which is normally turned off in most
mail servers due to security concerns. For instructions to configure in a secure manner, see the documentation that was provided
with the SMTP server.
NOTE: If your mail server is Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, make sure that iDRAC domain name is configured for the
mail server to receive the email alerts from iDRAC.
NOTE: Email alerts support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The DRAC DNS Domain Name must be specified when using
IPv6.
If your network has an SMTP server that releases and renews IP address leases periodically, and the addresses are different, then
there is a duration when this property setting does not work due to change in the specified SMTP server IP address. In such cases,
use the DNS name.
