Operations Orchestration Studio requires an SMTP server. Insight Orchestration uses Operations Orchestration during the execution of Insight Orchestration requests notifying users about the progress of Insight Orchestration processes including approval, manual operating system deployment, manual storage provisioning, disk scrubbing, storage removal and notifications. To send these notifications, you must configure the Operations Orchestration workflows to send email.
Before Insight Orchestration can send an email notification, you must install and configure an SMTP server either on the CMS where Insight Orchestration and Operations Orchestration are installed or on a server that is accessible to the CMS.
In Operations Orchestration on the CMS, you might have to set the following Operations Orchestration system properties with the appropriate SMTP values:
Table 5-1 Operations Orchestration SMTP values
| Name | Example Value | Notes |
|---|
| HpioSmtpHost | 127.0.0.1 | If SMTP is on another server, replace 127.0.0.1 with the server's IP address |
| HpioSmtpPort | 25 | If the SMTP port is different than 25, replace 25 with SMTP's port |
