Email Notification

The Xserve RAID system sends email messages whenever it detects an error condition.
You can add as many email addresses as you wish for notification; separate the names
with commas.

To set up email notification:

1

In the RAID Admin window, click the Email button.

2

If necessary, enter the management password and click OK.

3

In the Email Notification window, click Add.

4

Enter one or more email addresses in the text field and click OK.

5

Enter the address of the SMTP server and the sender’s email address. You can use your
own address or create a new address on the SMTP server with a name such as “Xserve
RAID 3 alert” to identify the system and the purpose of the email message. (The
address you use must be a valid one on the SMTP server.)

6

If the SMTP server requires authentication, click the authentication checkbox and enter
the appropriate user name and password.

You can use the Send Test Email button to verify that notification is working.

7

Click OK.
