i. Expander port for cluster 2
7. E-mail configuration
Attention: If you plan to connect your network to the ESSNet, IBM
recommends that you defer having IBM configure e-mail during initial
installation and configuration. You can configure e-mail by using ESS Specialist
after you connect your network to the ESSNet.
a. Maximum error notification count per problem
The ESS sends error notifications (0 to 9) to e-mail addresses and call
home. Enter the total number of notifications you want sent to each
recipient for each problem. A number greater than 1 increases
opportunities for delivery.
Note: If you enter a value of 0, the ESS does not send an error
notification.
b. Add e-mail destinations
The ESS sends error notifications and information to the destinations you
enter here if you have attached your LAN to the ESSNet external hub.
Note: IBM strongly recommends that you list at least one e-mail address.
This address will receive information when product engineers or
service support personnel connect to your machine.
v
Enter the full e-mail address for each destination, for example,
maria@host.com
.
v
For each recipient, check one box: Errors, information, all, or none.
This specifies which notification the recipient receives.
c. Enable smart relay host
Note: You cannot enable smart relay host if you have enabled local e-mail
as the two configurations are mutually exclusive.
Select Yes to enable a smart relay host when you have met either of the
following conditions:
v
Your e-mail is sent from a UNIX-based system on which you have
specified a mail relay or mail gateway
v
You have installed a message transfer agent (MTA) on your mail server
If you selected Yes (one of the above conditions applies), enter a host
name or network address.
If the above conditions do not apply, select No.
Note: If the address you entered in step 7b does not receive e-mail,
configuring the smart relay host may correct the problem.
d. Enable local e-mail
Note: You cannot enable local e-mail if you have enabled smart relay host
as the two configurations are mutually exclusive.
Select Yes when:
v
You have connected your ESS to a host-system network that does not
have a domain name server (DNS)
8. SNMP configuration
