Configuring e-mail alert settings using RACADM

To send a test e-mail to an e-mail alert destination using RACADM:
  1. Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC and log in.
  2. Enable alert generation: 
    racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingEnable 1
  3. Enable email alert generation: 
    racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertEnable 1 -i <index>
    where <index> is a value between 1–4. CMC uses the index number to distinguish up to four configurable destination email addresses.
  4. Specify a destination email address to receive the email alerts: 
    racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertAddress <email address> -i <index>
    where <email address> is a valid email address, and <index> is the index value you specified in step 4.
  5. Specify the name of the person receiving the email alert: 
    racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertEmailName <email name> -i <index>
    where <email name> is the name of the person or group receiving the email alert, and <index> is the index value specified in step 4 and step 5. The email name can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters, dashes, underscores, and periods. Spaces are not valid.
  6. Setup the SMTP host: 
    racadm config -g cfgRemoteHosts -o cfgRhostsSmtpServerIpAddr host.domain
    where host.domain is the FQDN.

    You can configure up to four destination email addresses to receive email alerts. To add more email addresses, repeat step 2 – step 5.

    • NOTE: The commands in steps 2–5 overwrite any existing settings configured for the index you specify (1–4). To determine whether an index has previously configured values, type:x racadm getconfig -g cfgEmailAlert — I <index> . If the index is configured, values appear for the cfgEmailAlertAddress and cfgEmailAlertEmailName objects.

    For more information, see the RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC and CMC available at dell.com/support/manuals.
