1.
Access the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) host and CMS e-mail settings through the First Time
Wizard or choose Options
→Events→Automatic Event Handling→Email Settings. The Email
Settings
page appears.
2.
Enter the SMTP host name. The SMTP host is the outgoing e-mail server that the CMS will use to send
e-mail notifications.
3.
Enter the e-mail address that the management server will use when sending e-mail notifications in the
Sender's e-mail address
box.
4.
To authenticate your SMTP server, select Server Requires Authentication.
5.
Enter the account user name and password in the corresponding boxes.
6.
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 changing the e-mail settings from the Options
→Events→Automatic Event Handling→Email
Settings
page, click OK to save changes.
NOTE:
If the Server Requires Authentication option is selected, and you enter incorrect account
information, e-mail event notifications will not reach the intended recipients.
Additional e-mail settings
To have user defined information (from the e-mail information on the Actions page) displayed first on the
subject line of an e-mail, you must change the
EmailPrefixUserSubject property in the
globalsettings.props
file to True. Otherwise, HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) defined information
is displayed first. The globalsettings.props file is located at:
•
On Windows
It is typically located at C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight
Manager\config\globalsettings.props
.
•
On HP-UX and Linux
It is located at /etc/opt/mx/config/globalsettings.props.
The HP SIM service should be restarted after the flag is set. To restart:
•
If EmailPrefixUserSubject = false
The format of the subject line is Device Name: Short Description
from Alert: User's Defined Subject.
•
If EmailPrefixUserSubject = true
The format of the email subject line is User's Defined Subject: Device
Name: Short Description from Alert.
IMPORTANT:
This property does not need to be configured for the e-mail feature to work. This property
is automatically set to false in the globalsettings.props file and does not need to be changed unless
you want user defined text to appear before the HP SIM text in the subject line.
