Go to SolutionRunning a report in control station
hello All..I am new to generating reports on celerra and recently the customer has asked for an automation Health check to be carried out in our celerra environment. It needs to generate the report to my Email ID after checking the devices.Also the utilization report.
Here's the format for utilization :
id = 3
name = clar_r5_performance
used_mb = 23476466
avail_mb = 6568607
total_mb = 30045073
potential_mb = 0
And the format of health check report sent to me..

How do i set it in control station to get the report ?
Pointers are welcome.
I will very much appreciate if you could guide me on how i can configure on celerra the health check report ( If any one knows a better way to do so please share the same with me).
Note: SCOM is not supported at present. So i can't integrate it with SCOM .
Thanks for reading !

See https://community.emc.com/message/379664#379664 for Email config
If i have to see the basic requirements for configuring the Celerra for for EMAIL utility( Outlook express) , what 'd that be?
1) Adding the IP of celerra to the exchange server.
2)opening port 25 for mail so that celerra communicate with the exchange server.
Is there anyother factor i need to consider?
Please suggest , as i am still not able to configure the Email utility.

Then you first need to configure control station DNS as explained in the Events and Notification manual
Rainer, This is the output i 'm getting:
nasadmin@usdadwspul00 ~]$ mail -v memoved@mail.com
Subject: Test
Test ThisCc:XXX.com: Name server timeout
removed@mail.com... Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery
removed@mail.com... queuedWhat could be the reason?

what does "unable to configure" mean ?
If you do a "Mail -v " from the Celerra control station - what messages do you get ?
Thank you all for the response!
I am getting the mails now using mail -v userid@example.com
Can somebody let me know if I can get the report automated .
I want capacity utilization report to be sent to my ID (nas_pool -size -a ) at 2 in the afternoon.
I did try going to crontab -e
" nas_pool -size -a | mail -s report user@example.com "
and the saving it by hitting escape and then wq (write /quit)
Still not getting the mail. Is there a different way to schedule this ? please suggest !

look into the root mailbox as to why it failed
most likely you were using nas_ commands without the proper env

i assume you specified correct time per crontab syntax, try something like this (one line, no wrapping) :
0 14 * * * NAS_DB=/nas /nas/bin/nas_pool -size -a | mail -s report user@example.com >> /home/nasadmin/content.log 2>&1
