Installing Remote ARCCONF on a Linux Guest OS
Use the following procedure to install Remote ARCCONF on a Linux Guest OS, and to enable
email notifications in your system. Use email notifications to send messages to select email
addresses when an event occurs in your storage space, such as the creation of a logical drive or
the failure of a disk drive.
After you install Remote ARCCONF on the Linux Guest OS, you can use the configUtil.sh
utility to manage email notifications in your system, such as adding or removing email
recipients or modifying SMTP server settings; see
Managing Email Notifications on a Linux
Guest OS
