Configuring e-mail settings | |
Before the central management server (CMS) can send notifications, you must configure the e-mail settings it will use. To configure HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to send e-mail notifications through the automatic event handling: Access the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) host and CMS e-mail settings through the First Time Wizard, or choose Options EventsAutomatic Event HandlingEmail Settings. The Email Settings page appears. Enter the SMTP host name. The SMTP host is the outgoing e-mail server that the CMS will use to send e-mail notifications. Enter the e-mail address that the management server will use when sending e-mail notifications in the Sender's e-mail address box. To authenticate your SMTP server, select Server Requires Authentication. Enter the account user name and password in the corresponding boxes. If you are using the First Time Wizard, click Next to go to the next step.
Note If you did not enter a valid SMTP host, HP SIM notifies you that it will not be able to send e-mail notifications. Click OK if you do not want to enter e-mail settings now, or click Cancel and enter a valid SMTP host. If you are using the HP SIM GUI, click OK to save changes.
