Managing Alert Rule Configurations

Before You Begin

• If you are defining an Email Notification alert, the outgoing email server that will be used to send the email notification must be configured in ILOM. If an outgoing email server is not configured, ILOM will not be able to successfully generate Email Notification alerts.
• If you are defining an SNMP Trap alert with the version set to SNMP v3, the SNMP user name must be defined in ILOM as an SNMP user. If the user is not defined in ILOM as an SNMP user, the receiver of the SNMP alert will be unable to decode the SNMP alert message.
• Review the CLI commands for managing alert rule configurations. See CLI Commands for Managing Alert Rule Configurations.
• To manage alert rule configurations, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.
• To send a test email alert, you need the Read Only (o) role enabled and you must be using ILOM 3.0.4 or a later version of ILOM.

Follow these steps to configure an alert rule:

1. Establish a local serial console connection or SSH connection to the server SP or CMM.

2. Type one of the following command paths to set the working directory:

• For a rackmounted server: cd /SP/alertmgmt
• For a blade server module: cd /SP/alertmgmt
• For a chassis CMM: cd /CMM/alertmgmt

3. Type the show command to view properties associated with an alert rule.

For example, to view the properties associated with the first alert rule, you would type one of the following:

• For a rackmounted server: show /SP/alertmgmt/rules/1
• For a blade sever module: show /CH/BLn/SP/alertmgmt/rules/1
• For a chassis CMM: show /CMM/alertmgmt/CMM/rules/1

4. Type the set command to assign values to properties associated with an alert rule.

For example, to set IPMI PET as the alert type for rule 1, you would type the following command path:

->set /SP/alertmgmt/rules/1 type=ipmipet

Follow these steps to disable an alert rule:

1. Establish a local serial console connection or SSH connection to the server SP or CMM.

2. Type one of the following command paths to set the working directory:

• For a rackmounted server SP, type: cd /SP/alertngnt/rules/n
• For a blade server SP, type: cd /CH/BLn/SP/alertmgmt/rules/n
• For a chassis CMM, type: cd /CMM/alertmgmt/CMM/rules/n

Where n equals a specific alert rule number, which can be 1 to 15.

[BLn refers to the server module (blade) slot number.]

3. To disable the alert rule, type the following command:

->set level=disable

Follow these steps to generate test alerts:

1. Establish a local serial console connection or SSH connection to the server SP or CMM.

2. Type one of the following command paths to set the working directory:

• For a rackmounted server SP, type: cd /SP/alertmgmt/rules
• For a blade server SP, type: cd /CH/BLn/SP/alertmgmt/rules
• For a chassis CMM, type: cd /CMM/alertmgmt/CMM/rules

3. Type the following command to generate a test alert for each enabled alert rule configuration:

->set testalert=true

Follow these steps to send a test email alert:

1. Establish a local serial console connection or SSH connection to the server SP or CMM.

2. Type one of the following command paths to set the working directory:

• For a rackmounted server SP, type: cd /SP/alertmgmt/rules
• For a blade server SP, type: cd /CH/BLn/SP/alertmgmt/rules
• For a chassis CMM, type: cd /CMM/alertmgmt/CMM/rules

3. Type the following command to send a test email alert for each alert rule configuration:

->set testrule=true

CLI Commands for Managing Alert Rule Configurations

The following table describes the CLI commands that you will need to use to manage alert rule configurations using the ILOM CLI.

-> show /SP/alertmgmt/rules/1

  -> show /SP/alertmgmt/rules/1 type
/SP/alertmgmt/rules/1
Properties:
        type = snmptrap
   Commands:
        set
        show 

  -> show 1/
  /SP/alertmgmt/rules/1
    Targets:
    Properties:
        community_or_username = public
        destination = 129.148.185.52
        level = minor
        snmp_version = 1
        type = snmptrap
    Commands:
        cd
        set
        show

  -> cd /SP/alertmgmt

-> set /SP/alertmgmt/rules/1 type=ipmipet

-> set rules/1 type=ipmipet

-> set type=ipmipet

Configuring SMTP Client for Email Notification Alerts

Before You Begin

• To enable SMTP Clients, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.
• To generate configured Email Notification alerts, you must enable the ILOM client to act as an SMTP client to send the email alert messages.
• Prior to enabling the ILOM client as an SMTP client, determine the IP address and port number of the outgoing SMTP email server that will process the email notification.

Follow these steps to enable the SMTP client:

1. Establish a local serial console connection or SSH connection to the server SP or CMM.

2. Type one of the following command paths to set the working directory:

• For a rackmounted server SP, type: cd /SP/clients/smtp
• For a blade server SP, type: cd /CH/BLn/SP/clients/smtp
• For a chassis CMM, type: cd /CMM/clients/smtp

3. Type the show command to display the SMTP properties.

For example, accessing the SMTP properties for the first time on an SP would appear as follows:

-> show
/SP/clients/smtp
Targets
  Properties
  address = 0. 0. 0. 0
  port = 25
  state = enabled
Commands:
  cd
  set
  show

4. Use the set command to specify an IP address for the SMTP client or to change the port or state property value.

For example:

->set address=222.333.44.5

5. Press Enter for the change to take effect.

For example, if you typed set address=222.333.44.5 the following result would appear:

Set ‘address=222.333.44.5’

Downloading SNMP MIBs Directly From ILOM

Before You Begin

• The Reset and Host Control (r) role is required to download SNMP MIBs from ILOM.
• You must be using ILOM 3.0.4 or a later version of ILOM.

Follow these steps to download SNMP MIBs:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.

2. Use the show command to display the SNMP MIBs.

For example:

-> show /SP/services/snmp/mibs
 
 /SP/services/snmp/mibs
    Targets:
 
    Properties:
        dump_uri = (Cannot show property)
 
    Commands:
        cd
        dump
        set
        show

3. To download the files, type either of the following commands:

-> dump -destination URI /SP/services/snmp/mibs

or

-> set /SP/services/snmp/mibs dump_uri=URI

Where URI specifies the target to which the files are downloaded.

A zip file containing the MIBs are transferred to the destination server.
