Configuring email alert settings using RACADM

To configure the email alert settings:
  1. To enable email alert:
    • Using config command: 
      racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertEnable -i [index] [0|1]
      where [index] is the email destination index. 0 disables the email alert and 1 enables the alert.
      The email destination index can be a value from 1 through 4. For example, to enable email with index 4, enter the following command: 
      racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertEnable -i 4 1
    • Using set command: 
      racadm set iDRAC.EmailAlert.Enable.[index] 1
      where [index] is the email destination index. 0 disables the email alert and 1 enables the alert.
      The email destination index can be a value from 1 through 4. For example, to enable email with index 4, enter the following command: 
      racadm set iDRAC.EmailAlert.Enable.4 1
  2. To configure email settings:
    • Using config command: 
      racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertAddress -i 1 [email-address]
      where 1 is the email destination index and [email-address] is the destination email address that receives the platform event alerts.
    • Using set command: 
      racadm set iDRAC.EmailAlert.Address.1 [email-address]
      where 1 is the email destination index and [email-address] is the destination email address that receives the platform event alerts.
  3. To configure a custom message:
    • Using config command: 
      racadm config -g cfgEmailAlert -o cfgEmailAlertCustomMsg -i [index] [custom-message]
      where [index] is the email destination index and [custom-message] is the custom message.
    • Using set command: 
      racadm set iDRAC.EmailAlert.CustomMsg.[index] [custom-message]
      where [index] is the email destination index and [custom-message] is the custom message.
  4. To test the configured email alert, if required: 
    racadm testemail -i [index]
    where [index] is the email destination index to test.
