M620 iDRAC CLI (racadm)

Hi,

You should be able to tell it where to send the events and that should enable them as well with the eventfilters –n option

Page 39 ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_poweredge/poweredge-m1000e_Developer%27s%20Guide6_en-us.pdf

The notification is sent when the event occurs. Valid values are all, snmp, ipmi, lcd,

email, remotesyslog or none. You can append multiple notifications separating by a

comma. You cannot enter the values all or none with other notifications.

Page 172 shows the usage of cfgTraps which allows you to set the snmp destination.

Example

racadm getconfig -g cfgTraps -i 2

# cfgTrapsIndex=2

cfgTrapsEnable=1

cfgTrapsAlertDestIpAddr=

cfgTrapsCommunityName=public

racadm config -g cfgRemoteHosts -o cfgRhostsSmtpServerIpAddr 192.168.0.152

is how to set the ip address of the smtp server.

What is the iDRAC FW version you have on M620? You can use below commands if your iDRAC FW version is 1.30.30 and above

To enabled Alerts

racadm set iDRAC.IPMILan.AlertEnable Enabled

To configure SNMP trap destination

racadm set iDRAC.SNMP.Alert. .DestAddr

racadm set iDRAC.SNMP.Alert. .Enable Enabled

Note : You can configure upto 8 destination by specifying index from 1 to 8

To Configure SMTP

racadm set iDRAC.RemoteHosts.SMTPServerIPAddress

racadm set iDRAC.EmailAlert. .Address

racadm set iDRAC.EmailAlert. .Enable Enabled

Note : You can configure upto 8 destination by specifying index from 1 to 4

Hey,

Oh that's great already. Thanks a lot.

So there is no option to specify either a sender or SMTP auth parameters for email? (Our mailserver wants either an existing account as sender or smtp auth. This makes sense...)

It's FW 1.66.65 (Build 07) on the blades BTW.

PS. Always confusing when there is more than one way to do things (racadm: getconfig/config, set/get, and then the basic CLI, etc.)

So, no way to programatically configure SMTP ?
