Setting Event Alerts Using RACADM
To set an event alert, run the
eventfilters
command. For more information, see the Chassis Management Controller for
PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support//manuals .
Configuring Alert Destinations
The management station uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to receive data from CMC.
You can configure the IPv4 and IPv6 alert destinations, email settings, and SMTP server settings, and test these settings.
Before configuring the email alert or SNMP trap settings, make sure that you have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.
Configuring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations
You can configure the IPv6 or IPv4 addresses to receive the SNMP traps.
Configuring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations Using CMC Web Interface
To configure IPv4 or IPv6 alert destination settings using CMC Web interface:
1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Alerts → Trap Settings .
2. On the Chassis Event Alert Destinations page, type the following:
• In the Destination field, type a valid IP address. Use the quad-dotted IPv4 format, standard IPv6 address notation, or
FQDN. For example: 123.123.123.123 or 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 or dell.com.
Choose a format that is consistent with the networking technology or infrastructure. The Test Trap functionality cannot
detect incorrect choices based on the current network configuration (example, use of an IPv6 destination in an IPv4-only
environment).
• In the Community String field, enter a valid community name to which the destination management station belongs.
This community string differs from the community string on the Chassis Overview → Network → Services page. The
SNMP traps community string is the community that CMC uses for outbound traps destined to management stations. The
community string on the
Chassis Overview → Network → Services page is the community string that management
stations use to query the SNMP daemon on CMC.
• Under Enabled , select the option corresponding to the destination IP to enable the IP address to receive the traps. You can
specify up to four IP addresses.
3. Click Apply to save the settings.
4. To test whether the IP address is receiving the SNMP traps, click Send in the Test SNMP Trap column.
The IP alert destinations are configured.
Configuring SNMP Trap Alert Destinations Using RACADM
To configure IP alert destination using RACADM:
1. Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC and log in.
NOTE: Only one filter mask may be set for both SNMP and email alerting. If you have already selected the filter
mask, do not perform task 2, and go to step 3.
2. Enable alert generation:
racadm config -g cfgAlerting -o cfgAlertingEnable 1
3. Specify the events filters by running the
racadm eventfilters set
command.
a. To clear all the available alert settings, run the following command:
racadm eventfilters set -c
cmc.alert.all -n none
