Configure SMTP Client for Alert Notification

Language:

Before You Begin

To generate configured email notification alerts, you must enable the Oracle ILOM client to act as an SMTP client to send the email alert messages. To enable the Oracle ILOM client as an SMTP client, you must specify the IP address and port number of an outgoing SMTP email server that will process the email notifications.
Prior to enabling the Oracle ILOM client as an SMTP client, gather the IP address and port number of the outgoing SMTP email server.
You can use the get and set commands to configure the SMTP client. For a description of the MIB objects used in this procedure, see Valid SMTP Client MIB Objects and the SUN-ILOM-CONTROL-MIB.

Note - For a description of valid MIB objects for this procedure, see the table following this procedure.

To configure SMTP Client properties in Oracle ILOM:

Log in to a host that has an SNMP tool and the Oracle ILOM MIBs installed. For example, type:
ssh username@snmp_manager_ip_address

Password: password

Refer to the following SNMP commands for examples:

To view an SMTP client state, type:

% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlSMTPEnabled.0

To set an SMTP client state to enabled, type:

% snmpset SNMP_agent ilomCtrlSMTPEnabled.0 i 1

To view an SMTP server IP address, type:

% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlSMTPServerIP.0

To set an SMTP server IP address, type:

% snmpset SNMP_agent ilomCtrlSMTPServerIP.0 s ip_address

To view an SMTP client port number, type:

% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlSMTPPortNumber.0

To set an SMTP client port number, type:

% snmpset SNMP_agent ilomCtrlSMTPPortNumber.0 i 25

To view an optional format to identify the sender or the “from” address, type:
```
% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlSMTPCustomSender.0
```

To configure an optional format to identify the sender or the “from” address, type:

% snmpset SNMP_agent
 ilomCtrlSMTPCustomSender.0 s ???ilom-alert@HOSTNAME.abc.com'
