Configuring Email Reports
Quantum recommends enabling
Email Reports
after you install your DXi. When enabled,
Email Reports
periodically sends system configuration and status information to Quantum, including any software
upgrades you have installed using the
Software Upgrade Utility
. Quantum Support can use this
information to provide a better support experience in the future.
To configure
Email Reports
:
1. Make sure a valid outgoing e-mail server is specified on the
Configuration > Notifications > Email >
Server
page. Also make sure to select the
Enable automatic emails to Quantum
check box on this
page.
2. (Optional) Specify any additional recipients to receive the reports on the
Configuration >
Notifications > Email > Email Reports > Recipients
page.
3. Make sure a weekly
Email Reports
schedule is configured on the
Configuration > Scheduler
page.
Configure two weekly recurring events: one for
Status
reports and one for
Configuration
reports.
